Buckfast football on the Bann

It's the night after the night before - and last night could simply not have gone better for Coleraine FC, and my little gathering.

Joined by friends John, Paul, George and Ringo...no, sorry, I've got that wrong. Joined by friends John, Paul, Ben and Robert, I was incredibly proud to watch the mighty Bannsiders trounce Glenavon 3-0 live on Sky Sports 1. And the Coleraine players were a collective joy to behold.

There was a storm parked over the town for most of the day and the game looked in some doubt right up until kick-off - which only served to make me more nervous.

But, particularly given the conditions, the home side played incredibly well and no doubt won themselves and Coleraine Football Club many new admirers (hopefully including a rich Russian).

Sadly, Jamie had to go to bed shortly before the teams ran out, but it didn't stop him getting into the spirit of things while he could.

I'll have to think of a convincing excuse to get the Coleraine FC Supporters' Club (Pudsey Branch) together again soon.
