Happy Saint Patrick’s Day to one and all. Ireland’s Rugby Team may have been robbed of their first Six Nations championship in years but that’s no reason not to celebrate all things Irish.

Ireland beat Italy in Rome and most impressive was that the Irish Cricketers dismissed Pakistan for 132 after 45 overs in their second ever World Cup match. Earlier in the week, Ireland drew with Zimbabwe in the most exciting match I’d ever seen - the only match I had ever seen.

There will be plenty of venues in Crawley that will be serving the Black Stuff tonight but only a few that will also be featuring traditional music and/or Irish Dancing. Why not try the Tavern on the Green in Pound Hill or the Emerald Club on Southgate Avenue?

Have a great night and remember that the Crawley Saint Patrick’s Festivities start at Midday tomorrow so remember not to sleep in!
