Greens Cheers on Blues in Wright's

May 27th, 2009

WHO said Leinster Rugby fans only exist in D4? The entire province and indeed the country were behind the boys for Saturday's Heineken Cup final and nowhere were the roars as loud than in Wright's Café Bar.

The Swords pub was one of a number of 'official' venues dotted around the region and rugger folk packed in from well before kick-off as the atmosphere began to build. Ireland's Grand Slam success and a record number of Irish Lions has meant rugby has never been more popular and judging by the amount of jerseys around the streets of Swords on Saturday, it's clear the Fingal public have also been bitten by the rugby bug. Swords RFC were of course in tow as well and they were no strangers to Wright's, as the bar are the club's official sponsors. Richie English, Ronan Somers and Dave Reilly were amongst the players cheering on Leinster, along with Leo Price, Richie Cowman and Mal Bradley.
