So, this weekend deserves a bit of commentary, as I was in Cardiff on the Saturday attending the first day of the Millenium Magic weekend. This was a fantastic bit of fun.
For those of you who have no idea what the Millenium Magic weekend was, essentially it was all six games of the Super League weekly round taking place in succession in one stadium - the Millenium Stadium (hence the name) - over the two days; with three on Saturday and three on Sunday. My Dad and I had tickets for the Saturday, as it was the day St. Helens were playing.
The Millenium Stadium is a superb stadium, and Cardiff seems a really nice place. On the Saturday, there were three games on - Catalans-Harlequins, Hull FC-Hull KR, and St. Helens-Wigan. We got there for the end of the first game, and saw the last ten minutes of it, before seeing the entirity of the Hull derby. This was a good if not great game, and it was great to watch a live game of rugby league as a neutral. The final game was St. Helens vs Wigan, the most important of them as far as I was concerned. Saints started off well and went into a strong early lead, but were looking shaky in the second half. They eventually won with a relatively comfortable margin, but were not looking as comfortable as they really should have done.
Anyway, was a great weekend and if it's on again next year I'll definitely be wanting to go again. Anyone else fancy a trip down to Cardiff next year too?
