Life is grand

Had a grand day down at Ardmore. Ate at the Whitehorses restaurant after the cliff walk and I must say it was one of the best restaurant meals I have had in Ireland.

Check out the video from the beach.

Last night the Shelekabookys played their first mixed-social Irish Tag Rugby Association game down in Waterpark, Waterford against the Sun Life team. We lost (10-0) but had a really good time. We had trained only twice and only two of us on the team had ever played Rugby before.

One thing I learnt was that you have no chance without boots. On wet Irish grass you either go spinning off the field as you go full tilt in runners (takkies for us Saffas) or you end up only going at 50% to avoid slipping. A couple of the lads on the Sun Life team had boots and could dodge and weave around us with ease.

Our next game is this coming week and it should be even better.
