Just classic lacrosse played by tough, sinewy gentlemen of the old school.
The Irish men’s Lacrosse team (above) compete in the World Lacrosse Championships, in Denver, Colorado, USA this week.
Their first game is on July 11 against Uganda and throughout the tournament Irish player Conor Walsh will be keeping YOU up to date on Ireland’s progress.
This is the same side that came second in the European Championship so much is EXPECTED,
Conor writes:
“As a minority sport, we often struggle to garner public support as there are generally other big tournaments taking place in line with ours.The tournament will run until July 19th with the team competing in 7/8 games over the course of the competition. It is a gruelling schedule.The post-group games kick off on July 14th once the action in Brazil has come to a close…

Blackrock, Co Dublin this morning.
Ireland’s first (of many) JD Wetherspoon [soulless if cheap UK chain] pub.
Laura writes:
“The Three Tun Tavern in Blackrock, on the site of the former Tonic Bar on the junction of Temple Road and Carysfort Avenue in Blackrock Co Dublin. The bar is the British chain pub’s first venture in the Republic and has caused a stir already by deciding not to serve Guinness when it opens on Tuesday the 8th of July, as the price point sought by Diageo was too high. It will however serve Murphy’s and Beamish at a cost of €3.95 per pint…”
How much?

A warm Summer salad for FOUR?
Bollox Never..
YES according to fresh new blogger The Irish Food Dude.
He writes:
This rough & ready salad is delicious, easy to make & relatively healthy! I cooked two medium sized steaks for four people, cut them up and threw them on top. It’s a good way to cut back on the red meat without depriving yourself. Swapping steak for chicken or tuna steak is another delicious way to mix it up!
The Cast
-2 medium sized steaks of your choice
-Garlic & 2 Red Onions
-Vine Tomatoes
-Leaves (I like rocket and purple winter leaves)
-Buffalo Mozzarella
-Large Asparagus blades
-Lemon Juice, Balsamic Vinegar, Olive Oil, Sea SaltThe Script:
Crush a few cloves of garlic and throw them in a roasting tin with the vine tomatoes & roughly chopped red onion. Add olive oil and sea salt. Put it on a highish heat and let them crisp up. Add some balsamic vinegar for some extra flavour while the onions caramelise.
Blanch the asparagus in some boiling water for about 2-3 minutes. Add some lemon juice, salt and black pepper to them in a bowl. Throw the asparagus blades on the BBQ and cook the steaks. (I will do a post soon about how I like to get a perfect steak on the BBQ!)Show Time:
When everything is cooked, assemble the salad to your liking. Slice the Mozzarella into pieces, douse your leaves in a nice vinaigrette dressing and add the rest on top…”

The food dude would like YOU to recommend a suitable wine to accompany the above. Anyone?
