London Irish in Photos

By Touchline & Monkey1
May 4 2005

It's taken a while, but then there's a lot of pictures to take in! Here's our latest photographic review of the Falcons' 2004/05 season, with Touchline and Monkey1's view of the London Irish home game.

As usual, all photos are copyright of the individual photographers and www.falconsrugby.co.uk.  They're in no particular order either, and be aware, there are a lot of them!

Dowse takes the ball and an Irish arm

Stretch's last home game

Burke and Tait - how good will that combination be next season?

Above and below, the Burke try

And Jonny converts it

"And this is why I'm called Flash..."

Dowse stretches every muscle

More points

Cory Harris is blocked, but has the advantage

Grindal on for Charlton

Captain Charva leads the way

The tactics factory

Good luck to Tofty over the summer, get that arm right.

Michael Horak beats Noonie, but not Harris

Dowse stops Bob Casey

A win - Wildcard for Falcons, safety for Irish

Alvy says goodbye

...whilst Jonny's obviously twigged that Touchline is the only one of us who's read the camera manual!

Toon are due then!

Barry Everitt kicks three more
