    Howdy.

    My dad was a keen footballer all throughout his life but stopped in his late 30s/early 40s. I know he would love a weekly kick around but he is 61 now and obviously wouldn't be able to keep up with younger lads.

    Does anyone know of any 5 aside games for older folk in Dublin?

    Don't know anything about it but my friends dad plays it due to a heart condition, harder than it looks apparently!

    Where is he based? I see a new game was set up in Poppintree recently
