Wouldn't mind hearing more about the stadium, better yet are there any pics of the ground (not artist's impressions) online?

We had a strong enough side out, although made a few changes during the
game. Players looked a bit tired, but they have around 16 training sessions
under their belts so far.

Starting line up was: Ciaran Kelly, Ronan Frawley, Des Hope, Jim Sheridan,
Ian Rossiter, David O'Dowd, Davy Byrne, Mixie Harty, Steve Feeney,
Eric Lavine, Paul McTiernan.

Stadium looked impressive. I took a few snaps but I think they came out
blurred, very cold and a shakey hand. I'll check them later and post any
decent one.

I was standing in the press area and the view was excellent
(typical, 2000 seats and I stand :-).

26 power sockets and 6 fixed line phone/internet connections.
Wireless broadband access available

Only downside that I could notice off hand was the roof of the dugouts are
not at an angle so when it rains the water sits on top of it. Few new bulbs
needed in the floodlights too.

Official opening is on next week so I'll get a few more pics then
