2009 IOST Review

Unusually for us we started Saturday morning in great form winning both of our first two games! We won two of the following four games too leaving us with a great days result of four wins from six games on Saturday.

The four wins on Saturday meant that for the third year running we managed to qualify for the plate competition. We only managed to win one of our three plate mini league games which unfortunately meant that we didn't qualify for the plate final but we played really well just to get that far.

Thanks again to everyone who made the trip to Cork and made it a great weekend, I hope all of those that are a bit sore (and those that are more than a bit sore!) this morning feel better soon. If anyone took any pictures then pass them on and I'll put them in the gallery.

Just a quick update to let everyone know that last Saturday after 3 consecutive unsuccessful finals we managed to win the tournament last Saturday. Colm also won the tournament MVP award.
