world wide madness

A good weekend for the local rugby boys. Shannon won the ail league on Saturday at Lansdowne rd, and then on Sunday the red boys of Munster beat Leinster in their own back yard to progress to the final of the Celtic Cup with a late late show try by Anthony Foley . Munster now play the Llanelli Scarlets next Saturday, again in Lansdowne road. Meanwhile the other red team who are in the Champions league final but play like a shower of muppets away from home in the league got stuffed at highbury thus ensuring that Arsenal handed the last champions league place to Everton for next year... Oh well, i suppose Liverpool will just have to win it and hope UEFA pull a fast one and let them defend it next year! And just to prove that playing in the champions league midweek isnt good for your health, Juve beat AC milan 1-0 in one of the last big matches to be reffed by Pierluigi Collina. Meanwhile in Spain, the rain wasnt on the plain and Kimi Raikkonen won the Spanish Grand Prix Local hero and (not Xabi) perhaps the other most famous Alonso in Spanish history, ie Fernando kept the locals happy and came second to keep his title lead intact. Another great day for Mickey Shoemaker who got two punctures and retired!!
