Blazzers – Start of season is upon us

What a weekend!!!

I have a new found appreciation for gingers after Paul Scholes took that last minute header to seal the win against city.

Tomorrow, the 1Z Blazzers take the field for the first time this season. That’s right, the Leinster Softball League starts back up, and I for one can’t wait. We had the Start of Season Blitz last Sunday. As usual, it was a blast. I pitched my first game (getting hammered 18-1, I’ll really have to work on that), and we had a good few victories to start the year off.

This is now when the serious business starts. We play a 14 game season over the course of the summer (not including cup games, IOST and other Blitz tournaments). I expect the usual bedding in issues we have each season, but we have a good team and should be competitive, if not vying for the league title.

Anyone can feel free to come down and take a look at our home games, which take place in Eamon Ceannt park on the Sundrive Road. It’s entertaining to watch, and you with the good weather, is a good place to have a few cans (along with the team, of course).  Our home fixtures are:

• April 26th – Braves
• May 10th – Mockingbirds
• May 17th – Renegades Black
• July 12th – Wildcats
• July 19th – Suspects
• July 26th – Beachers
• August 9th – Homers

You never know, you might want to join up afterwards Not too serious, and drinking is encouraged

To get you prepared, I’ll leave you with something every softball player and fan needs to know:

The weekend and new development

New post!

Weekend was good and bad. Liverpool were beaten 2-0 by Portsmouth, but then United had to go and get whooped 3-0 by Fulham. I really don’t know. Got to drown my sorrows meeting my girlfriend’s extended family though, so weekend wasn’t a total loss.

Decided this weekend that I’m going to do some personal development. I’ve been quite lazy regarding this recently, with the Monastery Poker Tour and Christmas among other things taking up the majority of my time. I’ve set my mind on a sports tracking site, it’s an idea I’ve had banging around for the best part of 4 months, mostly due to starting to play softball. I’m going to cater it towards my softball team, and see how that goes. I may also do up something quick for the Monastery Poker Tour, which is coming back after Christmas for its second season. (I really didn’t think I could fit so many inside jokes into one post).

I’m going to keep updates of my progress posted here, much like I did when doing my 4th year project in DCU. It kept my head focused, so I’m hoping it will do that again.

I’ll leave you with, in what was the highlight of the first rounds of poker (well, for me anyway), a picture of my after coming first and taking the plaudits, not to mention people’s money too:

This weekend will be quite busy

Suffering from a hangover is not a good way to start writing a blog post! Though I can’t complain as the WRI “12 Pubs Of Christmas” was brilliant (I’ll post on that a bit later, when I can remember everything).

Actually looking forward to the weekend, makes a change from when I worked in Dunnes and was in work every Saturday, always missing the football. So today, I’m going to stay at home, in my infamous house coat, possibly watch the football – will have to leave the house to see the United game tho – I don’t have ESPN at home. Then Jess is going to come over and we’ll probably enjoy the new Sky Player for XBOX. It’s so so handy, and actually has a suprisingly decent picture quality.

On to Sunday, and we’ll be heading over to Laura’s for some of her amazing rogan josh. And then it’s the usual Sunday plan; football, the last word and NFL on Sky Sports.

Into that aswell I have to get some time on MW2, Left 4 Dead 2 and help Stevy with his college java project…. I need more time
