FW: Hurling and other Murderous Activities

[Lamb, Mark]

Just found out today that unfortunatly, the hurling is to played on Saturday
with football on the Sunday. I'm raging about it cause I really wanted to
watch the hurling match, but I also want to watch Ireland play France in the
rugby 6 Nations which is on about the same time and since I have money
riding on Ireland, it has the slight edge !!!

Marcus.

I'm arriving at about 10am on Sunday and I'd love to go.  I have no
idea where Casement Park is relative to either the airport or Karen's 
place so I'll have to figure out how to get there.
