Kilts take spoils in Clash of the Celts

THE country’s politicians showed they had plenty of balls yesterday but fell foul to a cruel reversal of political fortunes.

After throwing away a two-goal lead, Ireland’s TDs and Senators, went down 3-2 to their Scottish counterparts in a friendly football match.

The ‘Clash of the Celts’ inter-parliamentary match was held to highlight the Irish-Scottish bid to host the Euro 2008 football championships.
