May is an absurdly busy time for sports. Here’s a quick round up on things I’m following.
In rugby Leinster have won the Celtic League with a victory over the Dragons. Cardiff look to place second. The English premiership is wide open, with my local team, Bath, emerging strongly at the end of the season and currently topping the league, with one game to play (though teams below them have games in hand). I won’t say too much about the Super 14 as I know Kevin has matches from this weekend downloaded to watch, but the ‘Canes do seem to be having a good season.
There’s not a lot of cricket in England due to the rain, but Somerset did score a notable victory yesterday, chasing down 286 to win an one-day game against Hampshire. Their one County Championship match vanished into the Manchester rain.
The Snooker World Championships are on TV, but I don’t have time to watch them. I gather Ronnie is in awesome form.
And much to my surprise, the Sharks are still alive in the Stanley Cup playoffs. Game #6 tomorrow in Dallas, and another must-win.
Sorry if all this sport is boring people, but I’m much too tired to write anything that requires rational argument.
