It's April blue skies and sunshine &150; fitting indeed for a very proud day. The last time the traveling Armitage family woke in London, we were ankle deep in snow &150; and that was just 3 weeks ago.http://rss.feedsportal.com/c/498/f/6594/s/f73c49/story01.htm Saturday nightSunday morning- April 20, 2008 What to make of the game, a win is a win and it is even sweeter against our nearest and dearest from down the road. An early arrival for us leads into the club shop and we are duly stocked with Semi-Final memorabilia. I am happy, Toulouse are my second team and I finally have a scarf with Irish and Toulouse on it.http://rss.feedsportal.com/c/498/f/6594/s/ed7c12/story01.htm Newcastle 8 13 London Irish- April 14, 2008 As Brian Smith was quoted as saying, &145;It's a long way up to Newcastle and long way down from the Heineken Cup quarter-final against Perpignan.&146; This was our second game of rugby this weekend.

Unfortunately I was not there on 5th April 2008 when a new contender for the &147;Greatest London Irish Game of the Professional Era&148; emerged. This was a game that did not give us any silverware but thrust us firmly on to the international stage as a side to hold up its head in the greatest club competition in the world.http://rss.feedsportal.com/c/498/f/6594/s/dc2e8f/story01.htm History in the making- April 4, 2008 No matter what happens this weekend it will be an historic milestone for London Irish. For the first time in the club's history LI will be playing in the quarter-finals of the upper-level ERC tournament - The Heineken Cup. The HC was over in January for LI during the previous two campaigns. With HC rugby in April we move into uncharted territory.http://rss.feedsportal.com/c/498/f/6594/s/d92a02/story01.htm Welcome back, lads...- April 3, 2008 With our chances of a top 4 place all but annihilated by the recent string of defeats, a game against Bristol seemed like another disappointed train ride home in the making, with even more misgivings about Perpignan on Saturday.
