Surely Fairyhouse has a chance of surviving Saturday ?
Looks like the thaw hits Ireland long before much of the UK, the beginners chase could be a very informative race...
 
I'm not too far from Fairyhouse. I doubt the meeting wil take place. Higher temperatures not expected until Sunday. Punchestown should be ok for Monday

I like to think of it that COVID ruined my chances of a sporting career in the form of darts. Was unbeaten in the teams doubles all season and had won 9 straight in the singles so the Buckinghamshire captain was coming to watch me the following week to see if I’d be anywhere near that level for his A or B side. I was missing that week because of being at the Festival so we agreed the week after he’d come down to watch our league game. The game never happened because of the lockdown and two years later I left the uni before the league ever returned. And I’ve not thrown a competitive dart since. Was quite good as it goes (even if I say so myself). Fair few 180s. Had a 161 checkout too.

nice, my league started out like that but for the various medical colleges of Imperial. But now it's just a beginners level league (though I'm pretty sure one team have a player who went to Q school, which is a bit naughty). Thankfully we're now only the second worst team in the league (we started in 2019, stopped for covid and came back this year so we're noobs for league play), but really enjoy it

I play with my family sometimes. I'm absolutely terrible - my mum and the missus regularly get close or beat me.

On the positive side, it means the missus wants a dartboard for the spare room for Xmas... I like to think I'm playing the long game there, but I'm most certainly not!
 
Fairyhouse Saturday need a miracle. Frozen now and -7.5 expected tonight. Inspection 12pm tomorrow.


Sunday's meetings and beyond will be fine

Yea no chance that’s happening. Has been below freezing during the day, and crazy cold at night for the east of Ireland. Ground will be like a rock.

Bit of a change expected from Sat onwards
 
Wonder if Josh Stacey is a member on here :biggrin-new:

And as for the above question, I hope Messi wins it.

I’m convinced he is a lurker. Also seen some posts from him that are too close to comments on here in terms of timing.

I think the French's luck/quality moments will continue. They'll probably wind the Args' up a good'un, and they'll bite.

I can see a late Giroud header winning it.

I'm waiting on Konate starting or Macadamia nut.
If Macadamia nut starts then Messi and co will muller him. He looked stupid against England.
 
Leopardstown ground currently Yielding,Good to Yielding in places

Plans for watering this week

Hope they can get enough on for trainers to be happy to run their big guns

Might be better racing in Limerick than Leopardstown if they can’t
 
Wouldn't be at all surprised to see today's inspection at Navan just being optimistic, rather than certain, but they'll do another one tomorrow morning. Thaw coming tonight and tomorrow, but still may be too late to save Sunday's cards, following almost a full week of frozen ground. Monday will be fine though.
