    As a mark of respect to our magnificent Irish Rs I’m pleased to post this link for my matchday journal on here myself. This should also keep the depressingly young looking Nuts away from me, he was in my ear doing his best Mrs Doyle (from Father Ted) impression; “go on, go on, go on, go on, go on, you must come back and post”.

    They are a great bunch of lads as are the “locals” that turned up. It was great to put some faces to names and also great to see some of the next generation of Rs. Poor sods.

    Apologies that I could not make the big meet up. Due to judo commitments! Hopefully there will be a chance at a future game to meet up again!?

    Gutted I didn't make it either. I had work commitments, thought I might get there, but barely made kick off and had to go back to work after. Would have loved to have met you all. Next time.
