A Sporting Feast

Well what a weekend of sport that turned out to be - and what better results all round,
Saturday was the beginning of it all with the Swans win in the AFL that i have already mentioned in the Trash Blog, i didn't see much of The English Premier games live this week ( due to too many drinks consumed watching the Swans) but was delighted to wake to see that Liverpool, and Stoke recorded wins, as did Crystal Palace for my mate Slim Sammy Agnew, Old Master Sweeney wouldn't have been happy to see his Goonnnners get turned over by Chelsea, and the week was complete in the EPL when i saw Man Utd got beat at home as well.
Sunday afternoon was spent watching the NRL between 'The Bulldogs vs The Storm, and again the sporting Gods were on my side as the Storm got up against those Lunatics from Canterbury, What is it with these boys and there off field behavior? I don't mind how they party or how drunk they get - but why would they parade it in front of the cameras and then carry on like Pork Chops especially in light of what has happened in the past.

Over in Ireland and Enda's team Galway got a good shoeing from Killkenny in the All Ireland Hurling Final, Galway had beat them 3 times throughout the year but couldn't do it when it mattered ....In the Final :)
And then we perhaps saved the best till last in the Ryder Cup Golf between Europe and our American friends. i left for work and the Yanks were 10 - 6 ahead and J-Fen was on the phone to me every 10 minutes shouting the odds before a late rally that saw Europe win 8 of the last round of singles in the comeback of all comebacks for us to retain the Cup.
J-Fenton actually send me a photo of him in celebration mode and i will fish it out and post it tomorrow for all to see.
No doubt the great Seve Ballesteros was looking down with a great smile taking it all in.

I see the Wallabies also got steamrolled over in Sth Africa and now play the Pumas this week in a must win game for them, Can't see it myself to be honest and this could be coach Deans last game if they take a good beating?

Over in Sri Lanka the Cricket Twenty 20 is going on ( does anyone really care?) and i noticed England got beat last night as well, On the positive side if you are an Aussie you still have something to cheer in sport with the Aussies still in it and will play the Pakis tonight.

Cheers
