Sounds good to me. 2 hours >>> 1 hour, I'd feel it's hardly worth playing at all if it's only one hour.

If we can only get the astro then I'd obviously rather play somewhere more convenient for me, obviously nowhere is going to suit everyone so I don't mind travelling.

Lads,
Sportslink is available for the astro pitch for the 19th. I ve to re confirm if we can get the grass pitch. I will contact them again today and try sort the grass pitch but the full size astro pitch is free.

Cost €120 per hour. I have asked about booking this for 2 hours, however as we are all not members of Sportslink I have offered the excuse that this was a charity match. If it was to be organised as a charity game we can get the pitch for the €120 for 2 hours for €5 per person per team.

I suggest we could use this occasion as a chance to support Damo 72's fund raiser below by each player making a contribution to a worthy cause.

Super idea Jay. Can I suggest you edit your number out of that post though?

alri jay the astro pitch is that 11 a side also?I love playing on 11 a side astro pitches havent played on grass in so long. How many bodies have you got so far?
120 yoyo's for 2 hours seems quite handy haha. ya have a time in mind for when this will happen? 3 - 4 pm? or maybe earlier to catch the afternoon matches

semibluff

Grass or Astro its all the same to me. Have a 100% goalscoring record on Astro having played 3 (11 V 11) games on it and scored 3 . Would probably prefer to play a little deeper as I am like rediclously slow but wherever I am shoved I should do a job.
Also you need 2 hours by the time everybody is ready and that it usually takes everything about 15 mins to be sorted so 2 hours is necessary. Sportslink is a top quality place as well the Astro is immense and you could nearly play 13 V 13 on it its so big and the grass pitches are usually kept in tip top condition so they are perfect too. They also have dressing rooms that you can use which is always ideal for us with beer belly's that don't like getting undressed outdoors

Its a full size 11 a side pitch. I would suggest ya PM Kayroo for confirmation of time as SPortslink is still only an option if the majority want to play the game there.

I was just on to Sportslink there. Got put through to an answering machine so as soon as he gets back to me I'll post up times for the game here.

What is a CERTAINTY:

There will be a game on Sunday April 19th, more than likely in Sportslink in Santry.



Whether we get the grass pitch or no they have enough facilities that we should be ok out there one way or the other.

I have also contacted Leicester Celtic to check the preliminary availability of their pitch for the same time and it is available and they do not expect a booking as it is free at that time most Sundays.


We will be playing at 3 o'clock unless anyone has any objections.


The current team list is:

Breifne
Kayroo
Semibluff (maybe- GAA matches allowing)
Hectorjelly
Aodea
Shoutman
Trippie
Carfax
Reganio
Jayminator
Roundtower
Tonc76
Jackyback

1 o clock would be better, allowing us to watch the mid day soccer there over pints/food

Good stuff Keith, thanks

Good thinking, when he gets back to me I'll look into it.

Even if their bar facilities are unavailable there is a cracking pub about 30 seconds away that does a lovely lunch and always shows the football. Always eat there after Dublin games. Great spot.

Spoke to the Sportslink guy yesterday, said the Astro pitches are available but put me through to the woman who looks after the grass pitches and she hasn't got back to me yet.

Just putting this out there though, if they can't do a grass pitch we should probably look at getting the astro used in the previous games...

I have a tournament on in Santry this Sunday (starts at 1pm)....If its an early start I can play but if not I will probably have to miss this.
