"SUFTUM"

Friday night rugby at Ravenhill!!!!!!!!!!

I've always wanted to say that! And thanks to the Poyntz family I finally made it to Ravenhill tonight to watch Ulster v Munster!

As if having a front row view behind the touchline wasn't enough, the first try of the game was brought down for Ulster by Payne right infront of me!!! It was as if I'd asked them to do it! Amazing!!!!!!

But if that wasn't enough, the Poyntz' are the people to be with when you want to do a bit of 'celeb' spotting! After the game Clifford and his eldest son Dylan took me to a back entrance where the lovely Stephen Ferris walked out and stopped for a photo! :)

Then we got a phonecall from Janice to say the players were leaving on the other side of the Grandstand - cue a mad dash across the seats to give the camera a workout! It was truly a who's who of Irish rugby so I know that these players might mean nothing to some of you but those who stopped for a photo included Peter O'Mahony, Fermanagh born Chris Farrell, old timer David Humphreys, the big man himself Paul O'Connell and scrum half Paul Marshall (who I was "this much" taller than!) to name just a few!

But the one that meant the most to me was that guy you see in the red jacket - Tommy Bowe!!!! :) He was all mine for 10 seconds! haha!

Needless to say, although my toes might have been frozen from standing in the cold, I went home a happy girl with a massive smile on my face!

Tonight was a dream come true! Thank you so much Janice and Clifford for taking me! I can't wait to go again! :)
