I've reserved my ire for Killarney but not in that rhyme scheme. Should I re-write?

Based on my own losing and winning experiences in comparable comps, I'd bet that all the prizes will go to poems that replicate Betjeman's meter and rhyme scheme. (If I'm wrong about what the judge is looking for, it won't be the first time. That's why I have losing as well as winning experience to draw on.)
