St. Patrick's Sports Day[Japanese]
This year's St. Patrick's Day Sports Day will be held at Ueno Gakuen on
Saturday March 14th from midday onwards. 2-3-1, Hara-cho, Soka-shi, Saitama-ken 340. The Sports Day itself will start with a soccer match and a high noon showdown between the Tokyo Irish and the Kanto Celts for the Dubliners Cup. This will be followed at around 2pm by a combination rules match for the Ned Kelly Cup. The game will be a combination of Gaelic football and Aussie rules football. Anyone interested in playing in the Ned Kelly Cup should e-mail Gearoid Smyth at gsmyth@ptc.com. A mixed Gaelic football match will then be played at around 3:30pm and the final sporting event of the day will be a hurling match. If you fancy playing in either or both of these then please bring your kit along. The university have kindly offered to set up some marquees for us and there will be a barbecue and beer and soft drinks will be available. There will also be complementary hot whiskies - purely for medicinal purposes of course! If you have any queries or would like to help out or whatever, then please drop me an e-mail at clancyp@guinness.com. Please forward this e-mail onto anyone who may be interested in attending the sports day - the more the merrier. Please do your best to attend and participate in what should be an entertaining day out.
