Week 187

Published by Fence at 10:39 pm under Books, Family, Sport, Weekly memes

As I mentioned, I headed up to Sligo on Friday. And then on Sat. took a quick trip off to Galway[1] to watch Brother #5 play rugby. Connacht v Ulster, U-20’s. We spotted the Ulster team first, and the first words out of de mudder’s mouth was, “they’re huge” and she was hoping that the brother wouldn’t be playing from the start. He’s only 17, and a small 17 as well.

He didn’t start, but got playing around 20 minutes from the end. But the game was over by then, Connacht lost. The final score was Connacht 6 - Ulster 27. They scored 5 tries, converted 2 and then got the luckiest drop goal ever. Yer man kicked the ball, it was half blocked by a Connacht player, and then bounced off the bar and over. I know I’m biased, but I don’t think the score was a fair reflection of the way Connacht played. Although Ulster did deserve their win. They had good quick hands, and their #14 was constantly waiting for the ball to put him through for a try. The big difference was probably the tackle. Connacht just weren’t putting in the hits.

After the match we headed into Galway city itself for a bit of wandering and shopping. Have to say I’m not all that impressed with the square. How much money was spent doing up Eyre Square?

We did, however, make it home in time for the football. Ireland v Germany. And another loss for Stan’s team. And he even managed to get himself sent off. Bit unfair really, not as if he kicked the ball at anyone. Germany deserved the win, we just don’t seem to have enough good players at the moment, but they were lucky in manner of that goal. I’d say that Shay would’ve had it covered had it not been for that deflection.

Today, the first Sunday in September saw the All-Ireland Hurling[2] final. We did have it on on the telly, but didn’t watch much of it as Brother #1 brought the gasur over and we were entertained by him as insisted on walking all over the shop. As he is only 8 months he, of course, isn’t walking, so instead he’ll grab your fingers for support and then wander.

And, as it is Sunday it is

    I was completely cheering for Cork and am gutted. It seemed like they might have a chance after the goal. They didn’t play well at all - it was very disappointing, but Kilkenny earned their win.
