    As many of you might know, Gearoid Walsh (eirebhoy) passed away tragically last week (http://www.boards.ie/vbulletin/showthread.php?t=2055724617)

    I came across a thread looking to organize a 5-a-side tournament in his memory and I thought it would be good to get a cycling forum team together to support a good cause.

    More details can be found in the thread here.

    Anyone is welcome to join (we can rotate players), and even if you don't want to play you can come along and support a great event.

    I got a reply from Neil (the organiser) confirming our interest, he even suggested a good name: "Les Maillot Juanes". Full lycra compulsory :)

    I think we (as in the rest of you) should all change our names to Gearoid......

    Gearoid.

    I know I'm not that regular a contributor to the cycling forum, but if you're stuck for numbers I'll definitely play. Better footballer than cyclist ;)

    Tragic story and hopefully Boards can really throw some decent numbers behind this.

    Sounds good, though the pockets at the back might make jersey pulling a bit too easy.

    [edit] Looking like it'll be on the 29th in Ringsend, which actually works out ok. I'll be able to make it from about 1.30pm but will have to run at about 7-7.30pm as I'm heading to this.

    Bump.

    Need a final confirmation for the team, all are welcome, it's not a professional team but a bit of fun for a good cause so don't be put off!

    Donations are also welcome here.

    I know I said I'd be going but I can't make it now due to work :(, how as ever if there's something planned for after I may be able to make it up.
