The Bantor wasn’t kidding when he spoke of Carraigrua.. they really are huge! The giant repeats. But thanks to Miss O’Dowd’s training, and her great pointers during the match, and her assistant coaches, Ballybraddan made it through to the final! OK, maybe the stick carriers had a small bit to do with it. It was wonderful! Everyone was hugging. Soc and Hoopy, Snips and Jessica, The Bantor and Miss O’Dowd, me and Speedy… Yes you heard me, Speedy! He got really involved during the match, we even high fived a few times. He gave out water to everyone so they wouldn’t be dehydrated. I had to make sure he gave the water in bottles. Believe it or not, he thought it would be okay, even a good idea, to just burst water balloons over the players. Still he shouted encouragement and support all through the game. We won!!! We won!!
Another highlight of the day was Hanratty and Hawk playing Speedpuck (copyright Beacon and Dylan) (Ahem, Beacon insisted I put that in..). Have they buried the hatchet? They shook hands, it could be a sign! They didn’t play the last point. Do you think they should have? Who do you think would have won? I wonder if they’ll ever play the last one.
It looks like it’s down to Ballybraddan and Rockfort, Beacon and Dylan… the rivals. Will Ballybraddan win the championship? Will we beat the Rockfort Boys? It’s all come down to this… Us…Them…Us…Them… Who’s going to take home the trophy? I really think we’re going to do it. I can’t wait!!!!
