Day 128 - Sunday, May 8th, 2011

No rest for the pickled, as they say, so after a refreshing breakfast and check-out process, we revisited Cahir Park Golf Club for the MediCahir 4Skins Challenge, where the grand sum of €1 per person per hole was at stake, together with 2 Closest To The Pin contests. Again, English proved continued the competitive magnificence that he had displayed virtually all weekend, reaping €42 of the €80 prize-pot, whilst Danny registered €18 on the Order Of Merit, with Conquer and I reaping a paltry €10 each. Conditions stayed dry but there was a storm-force wind present, ensuring highly-challenging conditions and a disimprovement in everyone's score from yesterday's play.

On the way home we foolishly decided to stop in the toilet of Portlaoise to view the ManUre v Chelski game - all the pubs were full and then ManUre scored so our appetite to linger was ruined, although not before we downed some outrageously vile produce from the Abrakastabya. The speedy pitstop did mean that we were all back in our respective city domiciles well before 6.30pm, allowing much time for necessitous recuperation.
