Churchill /Sands Cup - 2013 Winners England.

Well it was billed as a BIG event once more with the Irish boys pulling every stroke to try to wrestle the Churchill/Sands Cup from England but in the end it was to be all to no avail.
Big Task for the Irish mind with Enda away ( getting the Bird Flu in China) having to be replaced by John Bowe for the day , and no sign of Kanser who had to call up good friend and 'Hair Dye Man' Ronan for the day.

The Head to Heads with Handicaps were set by Enda as follows (see bottom of blog)
So with Binfield beating Enda (J.Bowe) & Heyden defeating Kanser (aka Ronan) it was left to Eoin and Robbie to smash both Tom and I to square it back to 2 -2. But fear NOT as we pulled out our big gun and 6ft Winner Fats to see us over the line taking out the one tough Irishman Macca McClarnon and in the process RETAIN the Cup for another year.
So drinks are on again for the English lads care of the men in Green - Venue and date will be advised.  But in the meantime here are some of the photos from the day of the winning team ( care of Kanser on photo duty)
