    If anyone ever needs players for a friday in Mervue give me a mail here for my number. I play Monday Tuesday and Thursday so I'd also have access to at least 20+ players if ye needed more. Only Friday + Mervue though.

    Thanks.

    Just remember to watch out for the goal-hanging young lads who don't bother defending :).

    Thats a great idea, I know of at least another 2/3 teams that would play in that if we organised some kind of mini-league between ourselves, I dont know the size of mervue pitch but theres another pitch down beside the galway shopping center that would be big enuff to fit 7/8 a side

    I just moved here from America...am American, but I can play soccer and I miss it! Is this game in Oran still happening? That's 9:30pm? Where exactly? Cool if I show up this coming Monday (03/10)? And I assume this is AstroTurf, no boots?

    Hi there, we are still playing at 9.30 on Monday evenings on the big astro in Oranmore, you are welcome to join. You can PM me if you like but basically just turn up, 5 Euro per game. Shoes are running shoes or astro turf boots (recommended).

    Cool. I will be there (as long as I can get rid of my first Ireland cold/flu thing). Should I bring like a certain colour shirt or anything? Just curious, are there slide tackles, offside, or any rules specific to this game that I should be aware of?

    No slide tackles (you would not want to), no offside - offside usually isn't played in amateur type games. We rotate the goalkeeper so you go in for 5-10 mins per game depending on the number of players

    Mondays 9 30 5 euro normally play till 10 45 John who organises it expects numbers to drop now that were going into winter. so who ever is interested is more then welcome to come along.

    Not serious just made up of lads from cregg, derry(nui) and few other companys around galway looking for a game of footie. If we can keep the numbers up we can think of organising 5 a side mini league,

    The lads from mervue or other groups just interested in having a kick around for the crack feel free to add dates and times that would suit. If we get some feedback we can procedd from there, individuals and groups welcome we can pick teams of five the first evening and use email adress to say wat days nd times teams will be playing. .If any one has better idea feel free to post here.

    Just to clarify, are you expecting the Salthill Devon pitches or do you mean any location except the Salthill Devon pitches?

    Sorry, except Salthill Devon.
    I'm living in Lackagh, just past Claregalway so it's a long drive to that location.

    just back in galway after working the last 4 months in Dublin, will be here for the next 9 months at least and now that my achilles tendon is no longer bothering me I'd be interested in a weekly casual game....mervue is best for me, pm me if you are short a player

    and who knows? if enough galways boards users are up for a game, maybe we can organise it ourselves

    Sure thing, you can bring people if you like as well - we play up to 11 a side some times (not that often), its a big pitch. Its a fiver per game usually just so you know. Guy that runs it is John. Said it before here but just be aware that it is not a longhaired pitch like Drom so you can't use studs. See you there
