    Think I'd tolerate any of them apart from Eggchasing to be honest!
    Soccer and GAA on top of my list though.

    Myself,

    I have played soccer, boggerball, stickfighting, rugger and cricket at a competetive level in Waterford in the youth & junior leagues and played Munster Junior League 2 & 3 Rugby for Waterford City RFC.

    I'd say besides soccer I'd have to plump for stick fighting and the rugger in joint second followed by cricket in a very close third.

    I couldnt bat for sh1t but wasnt a bad right arm medium spin bowler.

    Whatever it was I am sure it was better than my plan to get out of this by pretending to be mad. I mean, who would have noticed another madman around here?
