Shall we Sing a Song for you?

I know it’s nearly 2009, but I can’t be letting Don’t Make Friends with Rabbit Food have a monopoly on end of year round ups…

Highlights:

1. Airdrie

Well, I did spend a good part of the year here, not least as part of the greatest GO team of all time!

2. Ulsterville

Some banter. Mornin Jonny. Sugar. Post-everything discussions. ‘Why was Steve Irwin…’ All those Camp sketches we planned that only we would ever have found funny. Watch out for the Poles!

3. Riverside (Newry) GO Team

You can’t beat Newry with a big stick

4. Senior Camp (Part Two Part Three)

Early days yet for my world-record appearances bid. Gregg has 13!

5. Promotion (more pics)

Back where we belong. Plus my hattrick against Stute!

6. Northern Ireland 2 – 1 Sweden

It wouldn’t be an end of year round-up without a token NI match!
