Finally got to see a real live American Football game when I went to the game between New Orleans Saints and San Diego Chargers played in Wembley Stadium London on the October Bank Holiday Weekend.
The Saints won 37 - 32 in a very exciting, high scoring game.

Got more photos from Annette Ryan (thanks again), and a couple of mobile phone snaps and added them to the collection. I’ve put them all up on the photo website flickr where it’s easier to manage them. There you can also see a nice slideshow with all the photos in order from the start of the match through to the celebrations at the end. There’s 62 in total at the moment.

Congratulations to the Harps camogie team who won the All Ireland Junior Club Camogie title for the 2nd year in a row beating Keady of Armagh by 2-8 to 2-7. A great game that swung back and forth finally decided by a point from Aine in injury time.
Here are lots of photos from the day - Some kindly set on by Annette Ryan (nee Walsh) and some from Marian, thanks to both.
I can probably get bigger, better quality copies of most of them if anyone wants them.
Here’s a report of the game on Hoganstand website.

Just back from 2 weeks holidays on the Portuguese island of Madeira. Lovely spot. Click here to see a lot of photos we took.
The only flights to Madeira from Ireland are the travel agents charters on a Sunday. Club Travel or Panorama.
There are plenty of direct flights from the UK if you wanted to try make your own way there.

UPDATE: I’ve noticed quite a few people hitting this link searching for Madeira holiday information so I figured I’d add a bit more to it. This is back in May 07 we went. We stayed there for 2 weeks - which gave us enough time to do all the sights and tours including a trip to the lovely beach on the sister island of Porto Santo. I think in one week it would have been a bit rushed. We stayed in the Tivoli Ocean Park resort, an absolutely lovely hotel. The vast majority of the visitors are older people, many of them seemed to be return visitors so they obviously really like it. It’s definitely not the kind of island for the younger brigade (18-30) because there’s no sandy beaches on the island (that one I mentioned is a 2 hour ferry trip away) and not much in the way of late night partying. The pace of life is pretty relaxed, the temperature never gets too hot and the main source of interest on the island seems to be the flowers and plant life! The main town of Funchal, around which most of the hotels are situated, has loads of good places to eat. There’s some lovely food there including their specialities the espada fish (or black scabbard), espetada (chunks of beef on a skewer), and of course their famous Madeiran wine. Check out the photos for some sights.
