St Patricks weekend

Saturday we went uptown for the St Patricks day celebration.  Good weather, good music from Usual Suspects made for a good time, too good actually.
Sunday the Grumpy Shillelagh took the court in the St Patricks day tournament.  The day wasn't as nice as the previous one and cooled down as the day went on.  We once again played in a three man pool and had to play each team twice.
In our first game we played the Eclectics on the middle court and everything went right for us.  We jumped out to a big lead and kept on rolling for a 9-0 win.
In the second game we played Pallino Posse on the first court.  We jumped out to a 2-0 lead but they quickly tied it up and got the lead.  We caught up and they once again jumped out front finally moving to 7-5.  They made a big mistake and left and opening and we took advantage with a four point frame to win 9-7.
We moved to the third court and played the Eclectics once again.  They had just played on that court and the game was much more competitive.  We trailed early but caught up and got a two point frame to close out a 9-5 game.
In the fourth game we played Pallino Posse on the first court.  Nothing really went right for us and we took a 9-2 beating.  This lead to a roll off between the two teams.  Their first throw was a couple feet short but but both of our throws came up just short.  I thought both shots were good but didn't roll out on the freshly drug court.
Of well, a good time and a good showing for the Grumpy Shillelaghs.
