conversation hands work

We have been managing the racecourse now for nearly a year and I am delighted that following extensive work between Arena and DMBC we have finalised this planning application.
eight everybody games good guys kept learned next positive practice ready senior took work
We've had good senior leadership. They've kept everybody positive and ready to work at the next practice to get better. The guys never quit. And they have learned how to play without a superstar. That took six, seven, eight games to get used to.
knew teams
I knew it was going to be a one-goal game. These teams are that close.
fair kids mental mostly open running stuff
It was mostly just mental stuff a little running. We've had a pretty fair turnout of kids that can get here. We're just kind of running an open group. We're not doing anything officially.

You never know what's going to happen. One team could go in there and everything goes their way. But barring that happening, we feel like it'll be a great football game.
argue champion impressive irish looking original premier quite race sure
But it's one of those things, and this is still the original Classic. The Irish Champion may be on the same day, but I'm not sure it's looking quite so impressive this year, and we could argue that the Leger is still the premier race of the afternoon.
