    Just thought I'd try here for the craic...

    hoping to get a weekly game going for the summer months as im finished college...

    preferably 18 regular lads who want to play at least once a week...

    im a keeper so my team gets the whole game out field :P

    but yeah...would there be any interest?

    literally spur of the moment post...

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,655 ✭✭✭El Inho


    already had some interest!

    would actually love to get a boardsie game going...that would be ideal

    but im sure we'll get something together...keep the posts coming and we'll see what numbers we get

    I'd say we'll be needing players over the summer, I'll keep ye posted. Would anyone reckon there'd be enough interest in a regular 5 a side in the cage?

    I've played in the cage before. It's tough going. The ball is in play the whole game long. You get used to it after a while though.

    I'd be interested in a game. I really need to get fit over the summer.

    4 years of college life have taken their toll on me!

    fags need to go bye bye, beer getting cut back and wanna get fit for the grad in september...so the cage sounds good...

    i know im a keeper, but still work up a sweat!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 238 ✭✭rayc


    Yep I'd definitely be on for that depending on the night, move back up from Waterford last year where I used to play 2 or 3 5-a-side games a week, only picking up the odd one up now and really missing it, so always on the look out for a game!

    I was the same only replace the fags with pizzas and chicken fillet rolls. Being a poor student was brutal. Pizzas from Dunnes were the only option. Always had money for 6 cans of Druids though.

    You'll be kept on your toes in the cage anyway. As long as the teams are fair enough you'll be stopping shots the whole time. It's so small that you can take a shot from anywhere on the pitch.

    Oh and another thing beware if it's very warm out. That cage gets ridiculously warm if the sun is shining. It's like a greenhouse. The air is fairly thin in there as well. We were playing at 3 in the day though so it mightn't be as bad this time round.

    im sure in the evenings itll be grand enough..

    no harm in a bit of sweating! get the underarmour on and hydrate before i go...

    well hopefully the interest keeps going...be cool to get a boardsie game going...we can try be honest on here and maybe even have teams someway even before we even go...can jerryrig it as we go along.

    Sorry Aidan, I'm booked every Monday evening, Thursdays are also bad for me. If you're doing a boards thing, I'd say you'd need to organise it in advance. Did anyone go last Thursday? I was supposed to show up at the end but I got kidnapped by the OH.
