Brian Strand Poet Narrative

Vignette-The Big Match

Interval over,the shamrocks,had their say
Two tries blew the reds away-
Fear of winning led to mistakes
Until O'Gara's drop goal
Lifted every Irish soul


Memo: Ireland won the Rugby Grand slam yesterday 21st for the first time since 1948

Robin L. Gass March 22, 2009 at 6:48 AM A delightful read, even if I'm pretty clueless, too. I like the uplifting end and I see Mr. Kelly was happy about the outcome! Love, Robin

Kevin Mcallion March 22, 2009 at 5:31 AM Nice summary of the game. I was glad the Irish won but they lost me a few quid because I bet on the Welsh.

Christopher Higgins March 22, 2009 at 4:42 AM This sounds like it was an intense football match...love the build up in the write..good work Sir.

Kristin Reynolds March 22, 2009 at 2:35 AM I have no clue what this is about, I'm not sporty kind of gal (unless you count chasing 5 children around, trying to grab the thing they have that they are not supposed to have, sport!) but i, too loved the ending,love, Kristin
