The final home game of the Premiership season, Semi-Final not withstanding, saw London Irish as Saracens opposition. Saracens had lost 4 games this season and London Irish were one of the winning teams. They had Adam Coleman red carded after 15 minutes then Saracens lost Ben Earl to a red card on 29 minutes. Earl’s … More Saracens v London Irish
I’m sitting in front of the TV to write this one, hoping to go to London Irish’s new ground for the Premirship match but commitments mean it’s a sofa match for me this week, so a match report that looks a bit like a live commentary. Things are on to a winner in the build … More London Irish v Saracens – The Premiership Cup
No photos for this one, I messed my camera settings up and those I took are really poor 😦 London Irish had been involved in 2 draws before their visit to the Stonex Stadium, the first of those being against Sale, when they trailed by 17 points at half-time, Sale had 31 at that point … More Saracens v London Irish
And so the Salary Cap debacle rumbles on; the 35 points deduction and £5.36 million fine have been accepted by Saracens. That’s left the club at rock bottom in the Premiership table, with a huge uphill climb to avoid relegation. News has come today of the Salary Cap Manager carrying out a mid-season review of … More What does a Premiership Rugby Squad look like?
Having been to the U18’s Finals day at Allianz Park in February I was happy to have the chance to go and watch some of the stars of the future. I will confess to having a vested interest in this particular fixture; my nephew Alex plays for Quins. The game took place at London Irish’s … More London Irish U18’s v Harlequins U18’s – Event 167
With Saracens playing Newcastle it was time to make a journey to The Stoop to watch Harlequins. Â One of the joys of travelling to Twickenham are my lovely Quins friends Henry and Sue, a lunch at Patisserie Valerie was arranged! Â This was my second Saturday in a row – it seems very strange to be … More Harlequins v London Irish – Event 164
Game 2 of the Premiership Double Header had a lot to live up to, this was a London Irish home game and we were treated to another group of dancers. Â It was, I confess hard not to dance along to the 80’s music – in fact I did a little as well as sing quite … More London Irish v Wasps – Event 162
An unusual event, but sports related so valid to be here I feel. Â A recalling of the event and a bit of a article all rolled into one. I’ve said before but I will say it again – Premiership Rugby as an organisation are very inclusive. They recognise, ‘people like me’ – those of us … More Premiership Rugby Fixture Release Day – Event 86
Having experienced the heady heights of the Press Box at The Champions Cup Final at Twickenham, my next ‘Event’ was of a different kind, but just as important. I had planned to do my watching Essex Cricket in the morning and London Skolars in the afternoon thing again, but a message from Charles Beer a … More Under 15 Academy 12 A-Side competition – Event 49
It will soon become plain that I am in fact a season ticket holder at Allianz Park – home of Saracens.  Some very clever marketing saw that happen 6 years ago now; £10 to watch Saracens play Northampton Saints at Wembley was too good to miss for a sports fan.  Then it was rude not … More Saracens v London Irish – Event 2
