The Football Holiday(s)
Throughout 2018 my friends and I have made it our personal goal to go to at least three capital cities in Europe to watch a football game. Originally we looked at Berlin as our first stop to watch them in their game on Friday 16th February but due to the cost getting higher and higher as we looked. So instead we looked elsewhere and after a solid five minutes of looking I found flights to Dublin for the same weekend and a game between Bohemians F.C. and Shamrock Rovers in the Irish Premier Division. I'm led to believe, and apologies in advance as my knowledge of Irish Football is sketchy at best, that this is a local Derby.

The idea for this came from The True Geordie (a Youtuber) and his colleague Lawrence McKenna. They were sponsored to go on a trip where they took in three games in three cities across a short period of time. Our trip will hopefully be slightly easier, seeing as I only actually have to put up with my mates in one city without all the added travel to get to the next place on time.

Our aim to complete this challenge this year sees us take in Dublin and potentially Berlin, with Lisbon thrown in as an option but many other cities suggested. (Any more suggestions are appreciated). Maybe one day we'll try this again, but go to games all over the world?
In other news, Ollerton Town played their first game of 2018 on Saturday, playing out a 1-1 draw with Winterton Rangers, Ollerton drew level late in the second half when a Tom Moody cross was thrown into his own goal by the Winterton Goalkeeper. I've also started writing a piece in the programme would you believe it?
If I get a chance then I write a second post this week to summarise tonight's big game as Ollerton face local rivals Clipstone in the League Cup.
Until Next time though,
Craig
