Mr. C and I spent yesterday in the Ashbourne Rugby Club cheering on my brothers team Boyne, in the Provincial Towns Cup Final against a strong Tullamore team.
Thankfully, Boyne won the cup, for the first time ever (the club was formed in 1997 from the old teams of Delvin and Drogheda. Delvin won the cup in the 1960's. Drogheda never won it) and brought the silver wear back to Co. Louth.
Via the bar in the club house in Ashbourne!
The weather was amazing and the atmosphere was electric as Boyne fought hard to ensure that victory was theirs. My "little" brother scored the first try which was pretty great! However, the entire Boyne team and support team worked their hearts out and serious kudos is due to everyone!
My "little" brother, Niall on his way to score a try!
There were two great write ups in the national papers this morning about the match, and you can read them here and here
Suffice to say that the win, the good weather and the all round happiness meant that a few beers were consumed in the immediate aftermath of the game.
Mr. C and I made our way back to Dublin and picked up a takeaway from Bombay Pantry and had a few more beers. Not too many though as work beckoned this morning.
I am more than a little jealous that the rest of the family had the knowledge to take today off to aid in their recovery... Obviously confident in Boyne's ability!!!
More baking beckons later in the week. I am very busy with the day job meaning that I will need some de stressing by Wednesday!
Best run. the sun is calling me and my rapidly increasing freckles.
Hip Hip Hooray for Summer. And Boyne of course!
