The Shellekybookys

9 tag rugby games later and The Shellakybookys show how much fun they had. We beat the Wallace Warriors last night and claimed the Grade C Bowl cup for 2006.

We have all had a great few weeks in the ITRA league.

Sun Life Lions 10 0 The Shellakybookys
The Shellakybookys 9 19 The Lab Rats
The Shellakybookys 13 6 The Tryhards
MUNSTER MAULERS 11 3 The Shellakybookys
The Good the Bad and the Rugby 23 12 The Shellakybookys
The Sunny Bank Blues 3 19 The Shellakybookys
Duckers & Divers 7 14 The Shellakybookys
The Shellakybookys 10 4 too lose
The Shellakybookys 8 2 Wallace Warriors

As you can see we took some beatings but began to start winning with 4 straight wins at the end. A pity the final two games were not league games (one was a semi-final and the last was the final) as we would have posted higher on the league had they counted.

All the same we had a blast and will be back next year to challenge for the top cup.

The team from the TSSG will have to figure out what to do next as we will miss our weekly practice and game.

Thanks to the ITRA and other organisers for a great event.

Every dog has its day

Saturday, July 1st, 2006

We all had a good night out at Waterford’s local dog track, Kilcohan Park. I have never been to the dogs, or horse racing for that matter, before and it was an interesting experience. 11 races in quick succession with betting on each. I struck out on the first 9 races and then bet right on the last two, recovering some of my loses. Thankfully we were betting a max of 5 euro a time, usually just 2. At the end of the night I was down 17 euro on winnings of 8.
