UEFA Cup First Qualifying Round, First Leg

RHYL FC 0

Att 354

Entry €15

Programme €3

Badge €3

The relaxed nature of the weekend was neatly summed up by its final day. A leisurely breakfast was followed by a trip west to Athlone for a boat trip on the Shannon. It turned out to be a mecca for the birdwatchers, and for the boat a chance to meet two residents of its birthplace Southend-on-sea! Even the RNLI badge was still attached!
