Snow Day - KC Vs Twin Cities

"Good morning Kansas City, it's gonna be a beautiful day, sunny, sixty-five here in Cowtown." That was the collective VOICE of the local news channels on Friday. 

By Friday evening it was cold...by night it was sleeting and freezing.

We woke up Saturday morning to a good three inches of awesome powder. Great if you're a cross country skier, not so much if you're a Gaelic footballer.

Snow, smow, The Twin Cities were determined to play, they eat snow for breakfast, actually I don't know if they do, but I imagine it's a huge part of their diet living that far north. 

Now, our only worries were finding enough KC players silly enough to play in these conditions. Fools, they all showed and we even had a hardcore fans show up.

We all met up at Shawnee Mission East HS and played a game that will be remembered for years to come. Not for athleticism or skill, but for pure madness.
This was far from the normal warm-up
Big THANKS to The Twin Cities GAA for making the trip to KC

After the game we all got a lot smarter and went to The GAF for food, warmth and refreshments, and by refreshments I mean beer.

I felt bad for the Twin Cities because last time they were here we had the hottest day on record for 2009. All the same, it was tons of fun and who knows we could make this a tradition and go up North for a similar game next year.
