Indeed, best of both worlds for those guys & girls. Maybe if and when Jeffrey Donaldson persuades the Republic to rejoin the Commonwealth more can enjoy the benefits. Ponder folks.

Re: NORN IRON
Sport, IMHO, should be something which requires a modicum of athletic activity. I'll reluctantly give you darts, but if you start putting in board games, where does that stop? Is draughts a sport?

I've said it before and I'll say it again. If you can compete at the highest level in slacks and a Pringle sweater it ain't a sport ...promenader 2 wrote:Sport, IMHO, should be something which requires a modicum of athletic activity.

Well before we get back to Norn Iron footie, I just want to congratulate the Norn Iron Volleyball team who beat the Faroe Islands in 2016.

Re: NORN IRON
Never played Kendo but I see that in Norn Iron it is governed by the British Kendo Association.
But I fully accept that most sports on this lovely island of Ireland are administered on an All Ireland basis and for the avoidance of any doubt I have no problem with that.
And sure isn't the Orange Order as well

Another fine win. This time away to the mighty Estonie. The dream lives on.

Love the sarcasm . Thanks to all our players despite many of our residents not supporting the national squad. A win is a win, so the seam does live on.solidarity wrote:Another fine win. This time away to the mighty Estonie. The dream lives on.
