Home, Bed, up for 4:00pm as we going to go to a rugby match. Deb managed to get 4 tickets for the Leicester v Bath match kick-off 6:00pm.
It was a fantastic game, slow to get started, very defensive, but it gradually got more and more tense. Bath were very much in the driving seat during the 2nd half ( the 1st half ended with Leicester ahead) and as the end of the match drew near the teams were tied 15 all and it looked as if the game would go to extra time.
At roughly 79 Min's and 40 secs Tigers scored, under the posts, and it was all over, the stadium erupted. Julien Dupuy's brilliant last-minute try gave Leicester Tigers a 20-15 win over Bath Rugby in the quarter-final of the Heineken Cup.
The Frenchman found a gap in the Bath defence from the back of a ruck to dart through and score under the posts.
His opportunist effort with the last play of the game brought the Walkers Stadium to its feet and booked a semi-final game against Cardiff Blues.
It added to five penalty kicks from man-of-match Sam Vesty, whose 100 per cent kicking record replied to a try in each half for Shaun Berne and Joe Maddock, and a penalty and conversion for Butch James.
A good time had been had by all. For in depth coverage follow the above link.
And Now - Too Work; last night tonight off until next Friday as I'm taking Thursday night as a holiday so I can spend the week with the kids, I should have my bike back so it'll be a chance to get back into the saddle and do a little exploring.
