This kiss: Manager Dan Daly with Trish Durkin share a celebrationary kiss.

IRISH eyes were smiling yesterday when the true colours came out to celebrate St Patrick's Day.

Reading Irish Centre Manager Dan Daly decked his Chatham Street club in gold, white and green and served free beef stew as punters danced to traditional music sporting shamrocks and Guinness hats.

The organised entertainment came from the O'Gara School of Irish Dance, Leon's Irish Disco and the Billy Whitley Disco but the usual regulars made it a knees-up to remember.

The celebrations continue at the Madejski Stadium on Sunday March 28 as rugby stars London Irish take on the Sale Sharks for the annual St Patrick's Day Craic.

Supporters can warm up before the game with music and family entertainment at the stadium's temporary Guinness Village from 11am.

    I trust that the Chronicle will be giving similar prominence to St George's Day next month.

    Don't be such a prickly pear ( a nice English Concorde variety for you of course, not one of those Australian Packham types)

    Put the Daily Mail down and get over yourself.

    Totally agree Badger. Pathetic.

    St Patrick's Day is fun because of the music, the Guinness, the food...what are we going to do for St George's Day? Stella and a curry?

    Roast beef and elderflower cordial, maybe?

    ...maybe not. Curry and a pint it is.
