Sunday afternoon, 31st August, the venue was Eyeries, where the crew from the USS THE SULLIVANS took on the crews from the L.E.Orla and the French Navy Ship Sterne in a game of soccer at the pitch.  Teddy Black was the MC for the afternoon and kept the spectators entertained of the happenings on the field.  A very clean game was played and the over-all result was 2-0 to the Europeans.  The US's comment was that it took 2 ship crews to beat them. Prior to this game, the crews were treated to a game of Gaelic Football with Urhan taking on Bantry and winning.  Following the games, medals were presented to each crew in the village.  Judging by the banter, a good day was had by all.
