It was a very busy day for the boys, but they managed to squeeze into their adventure a workmanlike 4-2 win over Clongowes Wood College in Dublin. The day began with a 3 1/2 hour bus ride from Limerick to the Dublin area. We stopped at noon for lunch in a little village known as Clane, and then after an hour headed for Clongowes. At the campus, the boys received a tour of the grounds, which included a castle built some 200 years before Columbus sailed the ocean blue.

During the tour, the boys stopped to have a spot of tea with the headmaster. And, yes, I have the pictures to prove it. After tea, it was off to the locker room to prepare for the afternoon match against Clongowes. You can read all about the 4-2 win on the Match Reports page. Following the game, the boys shared a post-match meal with the home side, which included chicken, peas, potatoes and bread. Then, it was back on the bus to downtown Dublin where the boys will spend the better part of Tuesday on a walking tour of the city. Our next update will be from Galway on Tuesday night.
