A sport-filled weekend in prospect. This afternoon, Bath travel to San Sebastian to play Biarritz in the semi-final of the Heineken Cup. It's the biggest game for years and the Basque side is packed full with French internationals. Logic suggests that Bath should be on the receiving end of a thorough pasting but I was saying the same before we travelled to Leicester for the QF. You just never know, if they can reproduce the sparkling attacking rugby that destroyed Bristol in the first half last week, there may yet be a trip to the Millennium Stadium in store.
Either way, we'll be heading into Bath to find a place to watch the game. The other semi-final is an even more mouth-watering affair - the small matter of a local dust-up between Leinster and Munster. Between them, the two provinces make up practically the entire national team of Ireland and I suspect that half of Limerick will be upping sticks and heading for Dublin this weekend.
Closer to home tomorrow, it all starts again. The new cricket season commences with a pre-season friendly. Weather permitting, I'll begin my vice-captaincy career with a trip to our Chew Valley neighbours Winford in a game we should win although the main thing is for bowlers to get loose and batsmen to play a few shots after a winter off before the serious stuff starts next weekend. I suppose I should say that the result doesn't really matter but Mr Momus Snr will confirm that I've always been a terrible loser!
