Galway Whites: Celebrations in Leeds
Oisin and Ray celebrate their birthdays with the Galway Whites
Leeds United V Preston with the Galway Whites
Our journey started on Saturday morning at 03.30. We picked up passengers along the route to Dublin finally meeting the last of the crew at Irish Ferries terminal in Dublin Port. We arrived in Holyhead over an hour late and set off for Leeds taking a half hour stop along the way.
We eventually arriving in Leeds about 4.45pm. Time then for a visit to the club shop in trinity. Few of us ventured out to meet up with Stix Lockwood. Also met up with Gary Edwards. Sunday then was match day and a fabulous 3 points. Not the best game in the world marred by a terrible referee who lost total control of the game.
We had 2 birthdays this trip the Ray and young Oisin who got mentioned in the programme. There was a lot of cake to go round too!
All Sunday evening I had to keep on eye on my phone to see if we'd be sailing home on Monday. Monday came and we set off down the very windy M62. Heavy winds going over the Pennines but we got over them. Then along the A55 and then on the Welsh coast we hit it again. But we managed to get to Holyhead and our sailing home wasn't too bad.
That was our 3rd bus trip of the season and I have 2 more planned. We're the only Irish group that still still do these trips. While a lot of us take flights over to games as well.
Next trip is the Rotherham game. We already have our 13 tickets for that one.
Thanks to all that came to meet up with us after the game we'll see you all again.
