Great trip all round although no food all day maybe took it's toll. Thanks to all who had to put up with me. It was great to see a good Leinster crowd on the Hazell Terrace.

As an aside, a trip on the walk back to Newport Station ended up with a visit to the VHI clinic this morning and a fractured left ankle. The few pints must bar numbed the pain yesterday !

Indeed......I'll be liasing with Hickiefan the next time as she seems to have the inside track on where the best vittles are!

The sport that unites Catholic, Protestant and dissenter has had its day of days. Pity anybody who can't enjoy it. Some day.

Had a great day, whole thing was really good. I had two first time away trippers with me and I think it's safe to say they'll be up for another trip again.... but won't be using Donny B as a guide to stadium (admittedly from about 200 yards away)..... cue trying to cross a motorway on foot. What do you mean there was an underpass?

Any food would have been delightful on Sunday- nice and all as the pints were a big man like me needs some grub.

Unfortunately the trip to Turnipstan next Saturday is on hold for me, as I an still trying to explain how a day trip tur

We actually thought you were smarter than us and had gone the right way. At least none of your group broke anything!

They tried their best.... we had a someone try to headbutt the ground just outside the train station, luckily nothing more serious than bumps and bruises.

I forgot to ask after the game. Does anyone know who the mystery or extremely cold person was sitting with the team (wearing a fleece, cowl pulled up to eyes and a hat)
