If I wasn't so damn injury-prone I'd give this a go. For anyone that's thinking of joining I'd say go for it!

It's not the summer league and subs were already factored into the equation(squad of 11/12 for a seven a side game), there was also one or two who missed out, so you'd be well down the pecking order I'm afraid.

Summer league isn't for another two months, and you can even join alone through their website(might still be a team for the Spring as well). They leave an open team that people can pay into.

Vmona

We have all the guys we need now, just another girl or two would be good!

Hi Vmona, are you still looking for another girl for tag?

No, but I know her from playing last summer and she texted me to confirm my status saying there was one or two others who were interested.
Going by the second post, she only needed 2 lads and there was 3 messages.

Vmona

@M_Endo, I think we have the 2 girls that we need but I am making double sure and will let you know by tomorrow afternoon!

sarahmeen22

Is it too late to get involved in this spring league? Does anybody need an extra player (male)?

Vmona

@Athenry, unfortunately, our team is full for the spring league.

athenry2012

We have a team in the IRFU spring league @ Dangan - are any teams out there interested in a practice game on Monday (23rd April). We are open to any locations around Galway town. Cheers!

We train at the pitches beside the church in renmore - we're not that great but if you need a game we'll be there around 6:30pm or so. We usually start late after we gossip for a while first.

That sounds perfect, we'll see you on Monday so. We're not great either!

We could do with an extra fella. Could you make it to renmore pitches on Monday for 6.30 for a kick about?

Hi,
Are there are teams out there looking for players for the upcoming Summer league preferably the Thursday one in St. Marys. My girlfriend and I are both interested in joining a team. We haven't played before but I'm sure (hope) we will pick it up qiuckly.

Cheers.

Thanks for the reply/info. I registered both of us just now; there is still space for 4 guys and 2 girls on their website (link below).

Hi, myself and a few friends are really dying to play tag this summer but I've left it too late to join up with some of the teams I've played with before.

Is there ANYONE out there (of any skill level) who would like to make a team before next Thursday to join the St. Marys league (Corinthians has already started)?

Otherwise is there anyone who is short a few girls for their team?

I'll be a very sad panda if I don't get to play tag this summer :-(

How many players do you have so far? That would give any interested party an idea as to whether it would be worth the hassle of joining or not!

Also, if the worst comes to the worst, come down on Thursday evening (I am a ref there) and just ask teams do they need another girl! Some teams may only have the three girls and would love a fourth to be able to sub girls in and out!

I'd be interested in playing...let me know if you need a player

Lensbaby89

I have 3 guys and 4 girls so I now need 4 guys and 1 girl. I've registered a team online today, first match is Thursday in St. Marys at 7, 7.45, or 8.30. Cost to play is €20 ish per person, you also need to have tag shorts which are €20 to buy online (you will not be allowed to play matched without these).

We'll need to have a training session before the match too so anyone who is interested in playing needs to be aware that you will be need to commit to matches every Thursday and training one evening per week from now until July 26th.

Of course everyone will miss at least one week but it's not fair on the team to only turn up when you feel like it.

Anyone who feels they will be able to commit to this is more than welcome to join our team. I want to have this finalised by tomorrow so speedy replies are appreciated!

i have myself and 3 other lads, cant seem to find a girl willing to play. only problem is we wont have shorts for this Thursday.

Hi, can any of you come along tomorrow night to play in St. Marys?


You won't be allowed to play without the shorts but I called Champion Sports in Galway SC today and they have loads of mens shorts.

mrkiscool2

A mate of mine (guy) may be interested in playing. He has TAG shorts so if he says yeah he will be available for tomorrow!!

Fantastic. At this point I have so many maybes and randoms I really need to see who will turn up tomorrow night and play and who is free to play then every week.

Tell him to come along and look for the Galway Hookers team, wear a black tshirt.

They sell them at the venue! Show up at 6:30 and you'll be able to get them then!

Malice

Thanks and well done to all that showed up for the first game last night. Onwards and upwards and all that!

Lensbaby89

If anyone is still interested in playing please PM me as we still have guys and girls spots left, even if you're only free for a few nights let me know!

deisedude

Hey everyone. A few from our team have pulled out so looking for some more players. PM me if you are interested. We are in the Marys league on Thursday nights

Well i'm the only boardsie i know of on my team. I've a feeling we played ye last night. Dropkick Murphys? :pac: They told me they were boardies

mrkiscool2

Dropkick Murphy's did play well last night (I was the ref!) running in a lot of girl tries in a fast paced energetic game! But there are a lot of boardsies in St. Mary's, including a team who have a player with a severe injury due to last nights's weather and poor footwear!

No that's not us. We're The Galway Hookers.

That's us. Get well soon Shannon!

For anyone reading this please, for your own sake, get a pair of boots if you don't have one already. Whatever about reducing the possibility of injury it'll increase your mobility which is vital in such a stop-start game.

I cannot emphasise enough the importance of good footwear in wet weather. You can buy boots that are relatively inexpensive and will save you from serious injury. I don't think players should be allowed play tag anymore without weather appropriate footwear.

Is she ok?
We were just finished playing on the other pitch and we were worried because she was down on the ground for so long.

I was wearing boots with moulded short studs on Thursday, I could have done with longer studs!
