Scotland Vs. Ireland in a friendly grudge rugby match. I have ancestries from both nations.
Happy St. Patrick’s Day to all of my fellow Irishmen and Ulster Scots out there. Proud of my Scotch-Irish Heritage, that unlike so many others, I actually do have. My paternal side is Celt-Gaelic on my Grandfather’s side, and my Grandmother’s side is Ulster Scot, which are basically people of Scottish Ethnicity living in Ireland. So there is your history lesson for the day.

Here is some info and hat tip to him for his write up regarding how conference teams did at the National Indoor Championships.

Most of the DMN article is about him talking about random stuff but he has a quote worthy one in the middle of the article.
