19: Lá ag cluiche rugbaí i Stade de France Flashcards
A fortnight ago in the school canteen, Peadar, Pól and Séamus were chatting together
Coicís ó shin i gceaintín na scoile bhí Peadar, Pól agus Séamus ag giob geab lena chéile
about the international rugby game that would be on over in paris the saturday after that
faoin gcluiche rugbaí idirnáisiúnta a bheadh ar siúl i bPáras an satharn ina dhiadh sin
They loved rugby and peadar was very sure that Ireland would win
Ba bhrea leo rugaí agus bhí peadar lán cinnte go mbeadh an lámh in uachtar ag Éire
On friday off they went to Dublin Airport with their travel bags
Ar an Aoine as go brách leo chuig Aerfort Bhaile Atha Cliath lena málaí taistil
and them very looking forward to the trip to france
agus iad ag tnúth go mór leis an turas chun na Fraince
They had organised 3 days in that magical city
Bhí 3 lá socruithe acu sa chathair dhraíochtiúil sin
Upon arriving in the centre, they did a day trip around the city and they saw the big sites that were to be seen there
Ar shroicint an lár, rinne siad turas lae timpeall na cathrach agus chonaic siad na radharcanna móra a bhí le feiscint ann
They saw the eiffel tower, and believe it or not, there was a restaurant on top, right on the top and they ate lunch there
Chonaic siad an Túr Eiffel agus creid é nó ná chreid ach bhí bialanna ar a bharr, díreach ar an mbarr agus d’ith siad lóin ansin
They walked down the famous street ‘Champs-Élysées’ and they did a good bit of shopping too in one of the sports shop that was there.
Shiúl siad suas an tsráid cháiliúil ‘Champs-Élysées’ agus rinne siad roinnt mhaith siopadóireachta freisin i gceann de na siopaí spóirt a bhí ann.
Pól bought a rugbaí ball, despite the price, it was a lot more expensive than in Ireland
Cheannaigh Pól liathróid rugbaí - in ainneoin an phraghais- bhí sé i bhfad níos costasaí ná in Éirinn
Saturday evening they went out on the train to the stadium . It was packed. The world and their mother were there.
Tráthnóna sathairn chuaigh siad amach ar an dtraein chuig an staid imeartha. Bhí an áit dubh le daoine. Bhí an domhan is a mháthair ann
But at half time Peadar was very sad because they were beating us by 9 points
Ag leath-ama bhí an-bhrón ar peadar toisc go raibh naoi bpointí acu orainn
The Irish team wasnt playing well because the weather was warm that day without a gust of wind. it was humid.
Ní raibh foireann na h-Éireann ag imirt go maith toisc go raibh an aimsir brothallach an lá sin gan puth gaoithe ann. Bhí sé meirbh
But in the 2nd half the story changed. Our players were running faster and they became fitter
Ach sa dara leath tháinig athrú ar an scéal. Bhí ár n-imreoirí ag rith níos tapúla agus d’eirigh siad níos aclaí
They turned it around as youd say when they got a try
Chas siad n scéal thart foi mar a dhéarfá nuair a fuair siad úd
