If you thought that our coach was already an angry, young man, then this is sure to send him over the edge. On this day 990 years ago King Brian of Ireland was killed by "tree Vikings fellas" at Clontarf, which I think is a pub outside Dublin. Bloody Vikings! As a result Ireland fell in to anarchy, and some might say that it's remained that way ever since. In true Irish style, they named a pub after their dear king, Brian Boru. And, much like Ireland, it is a very dark and depressing place.
No, really....I kid because I love!
Anyway, lets win one for Brian (and coach) tomorrow. We will be facing the South Shore Anchors, who, if their roster is to be believed, have a few players to resemble the famed Irish giant, Finn mac Cumhail. We'll see about all that.
Once again I'll turn again to that famous non-Irishman, Kipling, for words of inspiration,
"For the strength of the Pack is the Wolf, and the strength of the Wolf is the Pack."
Think about it.
