The road to Cardiff 2008 - Part I
It started back in January 2008. TC rang and asked did I want to go to Cardiff for the Heineken Cup Final. I went hell yes! even if Munster don’t get through it will be a great weekend as there were a good few folks going. Booked the ferry, got the ticket and organised the accommodation.That was back then, we made it through and then the plans kicked in!
Not to do anything in half measures! TC decided we were all going to be dressed as cheerleaders… at that point I cracked open the Jack!
Finally the weekend came upon us. The gear arrived, much giggling and falling around the place looking at the stuff was had. On the Thursday before the match I made my way to Rosslare on the bus as there was no lift down that would get me there on time. Little did I really know that EVERYWHERE was closed at that hour (midnight) when I arrived. The nice bus driver explained that Bus Eireann do not lock their Emergency exit doors so I could slip in and wait
I did and I was never so happy to have my E65 to keep me amused and on the net
And so Everyone arrived all hyper and shattered at the same time and starving. John had packed a picnic box and made the most tastiest Ham sandwiches ever which I we were all impressed with.
