It was the best craic ever. The legends were too strong at the end of the day. They just passed alot better then we did, they just ripped us apart when the final pass was delivered. They all still have the touch. But still great day out. Any chance of doing this again next year.

Hopefully we will be able to run this an an annual game for the opening day
of the season.

Although next time I think I'll take the Rod De Khors appraoch and have
the "medical bag" well stocked ;)


You got hammered, didn't you

Its not the winning or loosing that counts, its how drunk you get afterwards :D

To some people a 4-0 hammering would be a seen as a hammering!
We even missed a peno at the very end, despite their keeper telling
our taker what side he was going to dive :eek:

Great craic though.
