Mens 2s sunk 3-2 in the Irish Junior Cup Regatta (Galleon Class) by higher ranked and irritatingly local Bangor 2s.<\/p>\n
A soggy encounter where Bangor, benefiting from more challenging opposition in their Antediluvian run-in coupled with a slicker-than-ours short corner routine, probably just shaded it. We lost the game but probably just edged it in the mouthing-stakes thanks to our man at the mike\u00a0Steven McGimpsey<\/a>. We also nabbed the Fair Play Trophy despite the efforts of mild-mannered\u00a0Kai Jenkins<\/a>\u00a0who inexplicably received his marching orders while gobby trouble maker McGimpsey stayed on the pitch. Congratulations Bangor, here\u2019s hoping for a Munster away trip in the next round!<\/p>\n This weeks highs or lows depending on your POV:<\/p>\n Diving – McGimpsey. Knows when to go full-Drogba and always gets the decision!<\/p>\n Body Surfing –\u00a0Adam Tate<\/a>\u00a0for his sliding \u201cit\u2019ll be a brilliant tackle or a red card\u201d effort. Luckily it was the former and unlike Mr Walls, Tatey avoided having his victim land on him and as a result will be back next week.<\/p>\n Aqua-Babies – tall, apparently handsome (I\u2019ve had the wife check) and good with kids (Carrie gives the thumbs-up). Step forward Capt.\u00a0Tom Donnan<\/a>. Get\u2019m while he\u2019s hot people (gender neutral because we\u2019re all very modern on the 2s. But remember people the final decision must be Toms). Thanks for that Tom.<\/p>\n
