Day three of The Dublin Cup included playing our last game as a team in the tournament. The team we were originally supposed to play ended up forfeiting the game. So an older team from Iverness Caledonian stepped up to give us someone to play against. There were actually three goal keepers on our team. The third keeper, who had been playing field this whole time and had yet to actually play keeper this trip, played in the second half. Brad ended up playing the field - which he had not done in a long time! We lost the game but the experience was good for the boys.

The kids had a special request to have the parents take a photo together and even "dab." It was quite funny!

After the game we hopped back in the coach and headed towards the West coast of Ireland in Limerick. On our way we made a pitstop in the unlikeliest of places...Barack Obama Plaza!

The ride to our next destination was absolutely beautiful! So green!
Our next hotel was The Inn at Dromoland - which is on the same grounds as the Dromoland Castle. The grounds of this hotel were absolutely gorgeous. The Inn even had a small foot golf course which the boys had a blast with!

After dinner the boys went to go play some more foot golf and soccer tennis while the parents enjoyed a drink in the hotel pub called Shenanigans. Speaking of shenanigans...throughout the trip, the coach would leave his glasses places. After dinner, we found his glasses unattended and decided to have some fun. We kidnapped the glasses and took pictures via Snapchat throughout the hotel sending him photos of hints as to where his glasses were. It was quite fun...
