Not a 100% Dan, did it last year and had great crack. Played in the mixed league 2 that was held out in Blackrock RFC, think we're in St. Andrews in booterstown this year.

PowerHouseDan · 09-05-2006 7:10pm

Its getting hard to get into any place this year.... Cork filled out straight away.. I didnt get to play last yr managed to shater my hand a week before it started training last year....

Terrible, came 2nd last in the group. It was my first year but my teammates said that the standard in league 2 took a big jump.

PowerHouseDan · 09-05-2006 10:39pm

Ya we were in Grade C.. only starting.. Came Second in our group it gets so serious The Winning team got 3 NZ rugby players to join there team swear one guy could throw the ball the full width of the pitch... In Grade B this yr though had a prac match tonight started off badly but managed to find our pace again..The Standard is getting better and better everyyear.. had to add another venue in cork this yr demand was so high..

Amz · 09-05-2006 11:16pm

I'd love to play, but alas couldn't generate enough interest to get a team together.

Maybe next year.

RuggieBear · 09-05-2006 11:20pm

Tag rugby doesn't suit my rugby attributes:(

I'm too violent, slow and designed for contact, to be of any use in tag rugby.

Amz · 09-05-2006 11:21pm

Pfft, you sound perfect for my team!

i.e. you don't have a fear of direct sunlight and can breathe.

Amz · 09-05-2006 11:27pm

Yes

Although I'm willing to accept daywalkers too.

He's be handy alright but are you allowed to use swords in tag?

Amz · 09-05-2006 11:30pm

I'm sure he'd manage to bring the ref around to his way of doing things.

RuggieBear · 09-05-2006 11:33pm

lol...indeed

Jim1982 · 10-05-2006 6:29am

Nure Social C. Gonna rip it up!

Downtime · 10-05-2006 7:51am

Maro's Social B again this year - won the Rock blitz last year and runner up in the league - hoping to go one better this year.

Might do a bit of refereeing too

Kinetic^ · 10-05-2006 11:30am

Maybe a Boards team could be entered next year!!
What's the Amz??? You want to organise, ok then

Downtime · 10-05-2006 1:25pm

Good idea.

Downtime · 10-05-2006 1:29pm

Anyway, back to what we were getting started, Amz get to work!!!

Crash · 10-05-2006 3:26pm

I wanna play, i wanna play! finding the girls is the hard part i find actually.

PowerHouseDan · 10-05-2006 5:53pm

We had a load of girls last year, but this year we are having problems getting more than 2 girls to come training, Plenty of guys though... Yera things will fit into place...Do ye have sponsors or everyone chipping in?

dinjo · 10-05-2006 10:40pm

beware of the Hitch Kick..... thats all im going to say!

Downtime · 11-05-2006 7:56am

Aching this morning - played my first game in over a year last night - really enjoyed it and glad to be playing again. Beware of rugby union players sticking their leg out when you side step them!!!

PowerHouseDan · 11-05-2006 9:38am

Yeah they think they can get away with it too. It Really depends what kinda ref you have.... Grade B- A will have good refs that will spot almost everyone, but the newbie ref people get away with Murder, BUt the ref will be told any contact Yellow card and any serious contact Red card, contact was a big issue last year. Its hard playing too though when your a ref i go crazy sometimes with the ref calls something.

PowerHouseDan · 11-05-2006 5:12pm

I guess if we did get a team together we could look for sponsorship from somewhere.

Although, its probably far too late at this stage?

PowerHouseDan · 11-05-2006 6:02pm

Near impossible to find a place to be honest its starting Tuesday week....

Amz · 11-05-2006 6:16pm

Yeah figured.

Damnit!

Maybe next year!

I'll have studied and finished all my essays well on time so I wont be cramming ... Er ... Dossing on boards at this time.

aoa321 · 12-05-2006 11:36am

I've got a team registered, I used my credit card

Because everybody I've asked has also asked his/her friends, so far I have 16 people trying to get on the team - aarrgghh - and the headaches start again !!!

PowerHouseDan · 12-05-2006 11:58am

Have ye been training throughout the yr Aoa? If so for the people who come to the training all the time give them first pref.

aoa321 · 12-05-2006 12:10pm

Nah, we'd never be that organised.

Biggest problem is sometimes I have to be careful not to burn off the player along with his/her friend - technical stuff - as someone said earlier - yera it'll work itself out !!

twenty8 · 24-05-2006 9:14am

I am playing in the Tag League in St. Marys Templeogue on a Wednesday night. We have 2 teams an A and a C. We have been decimated with injuries and a few people pulling out.

So I need a 2 or 3 guys who are interested in playing tag for the summer. it would be preferable if you have played some level of rugby / tag before. We have a pretty good team - although how good we are this year remains to be seen.

Let me know if you are interested and are free. Training is in Clonskeagh on Mondays and the games will always be in St Marys.

Now for the clanger..... are you free tonight? Not a necessity but would be a great assistance if you were.

Thanks

James
