European Cups
Posted: 10 May 2019, 18:30How remarkable that Liverpool, Spurs, Chelsea and Arsenal should have all progressed through to the finals.
(Not remarkable, mind you, that the travel companies and airlines have already jacked up their prices for these events.
)
I do hope Liverpool get the Champions League Cup (Mrs O disagrees, she has an affinity with Spurs as she trained in Tottenham). I think Liverpool will be pipped for the Premiership by Manchester City and I do think they deserve something for their heroics this season. And I like Jurgen Klopp, a breath of fresh air at the managerial level.
I don't really have any real feelings about the Europa; Arsenal for preference, I guess.
On an entirely different note, just as remarkable have been the exploits of Honiton RFC.
Back in February, I saw them defeated at home in a Devon/Cornwall League top-of-the-table clash by Penryn RFC, who were exacting revenge for having lost at home to Honiton in the RFU Senior Vase two weeks earlier. Well, in the Vase competition, Honiton subsequently went all the way to Twickenham and lifted the trophy last weekend, defeating Northallerton in a thriller, 29-27. Fantastic acheivement for a small Devon club ....
