Ireland V Middlesex

Drogman

I'm looking for some info with regards to the Ireland V Middlesex game this Sunday. Myself and a mate are looking to head up to this game as we've had a bit of an interest in cricket but never the time to go to a game.

So does anyone else know what the deal is with prices of entry? Is the ground definitely in Clontarf? I've tried checking out the ICU website but it doesn't give that much info.

Any help appreciated.

Cheers mate

actually those bus routes are wrong! the 130 is the bus to get as its terminus is more or less outside the door of the ground (the 44a doesn't exist anymore and the 54a goes to tallaght!), however you'll have to go up a lane to get to the ground. if you're going to take the dart or drive, this site is handy

at the bottom of the page use the walk and cycle journey planner.
see you there

Unless you have a half day to spare, don't stay on the 130 to it's terminus. Ask the driver to let you off at the junction of castle avenue & the coast road.

Well I enjoyed the day out in the sun. Got their for the start and stayed on drinking until the end.

I thought Ireland started slow but picked up a nice few boundaries towards the middle, but once the first wicket fell then that was it.

It was just damage limitation then.
