Midweek 5 aside - Coolmine - sign up!

Tusky

I live close to the pitches in Coolmine and just wanted to put my name in the hat if anyone needs players to make up numbers for a game.

I play every weekend in Sportsco Ringsend, but would love to play locally midweek. So if anyone finds that they are short for the odd or regular game in Coolmine, I'd love to play.

PM me and I'll give yea my mobile number.

It says 7 a side on the website.

Some of the clubs rent two pitches and play length ways and they are what are considered 7 a side.

Seeing as this thread appears to be where everything's organised each week I'm going to sticky it and unstick the other one.

Yup! Still think we should aim for 12 each week. If you only have 10, and then someone pulls out at the last minute, you end up playing 5v4 which is no fun.

Tusky

Just to say guys, we are playing tonight rain or shine! Dont let the weather put you off, as once you start playing it doesnt matter. Rain and wind is supposed to ease off this evening anyway, according to the forecast.

Remember, if you pull out it means that everyone else will be playing an uneven game (5v4 or 4v4) and also paying more. So I think tis fair enough to say that if this happens, you wont be asked to play again.

Do people think this is too harsh, or reasonable enough ?

kenon

I enjoy playing in the rain and on a wet surface.

ciaran76

Yep me and my mate still in.

Mister Robinson

Will be there tonight,

Can't wait to freeze me arse off in the cold rain :P

Tusky

w00t, rain has stopped and wind has died down.

Ive had someone pm me asking for a game tonight, which would give us 11. So if anyone can get an extra person, we can play 6v6 - otherwise we will just stick to 5v5 and he can play next week.

sorry just checked the boards i was onlyu looking on teamer all week. the lad who came last week - richie was my mate. he cant play for a week or two his toes broken. sorry should have cjecked these boards earlier. he wasnt on teamer anyway tho so we should have 10 from the sounds of it anyway.

yeah will do, it'll be a week or two i think but il get the details of him this week

Mmmm_Lemony

Good game lads, shame it was only 5v4 though. Personally I reckon you'd fit 6v6 on that pitch no bother...7v7 might be a bit tight though

ciaran76

Yeah was a shame we missing 1 for a fairer match even though the lads with 4 did very well.

I felt like bambi out there last night couldn't get my feet going at all.

I agree, 6v6 would be perfect. Someone else has just sent me a pm, him and his mate are interested in playing. Add that to the guy from last night and we have 3 extra players. Also Tom was sick last night and Paul had to work. So we should definitely be able to get 12 in future.

Bibs came today, their grand grand considering they were only 2 euro each (although I paid 10).

I want to find out who didn't turn up, so if you see yourself or someone who you know was there last night, cross them off the list. Think I know most of them...

Alex, Ben, Ciaran & mate, Pat, Kevin, Gareth, Ken, Chris, Aaron

In regards to the booking, we have 3 weeks left. We could either play those 3 weeks and then stop - getting it started up again in January when hopefully the weather is a bit better.

Or I could extend the booking by 3/4/5 games. What do people think ?

Mmmm_Lemony

As I said, I work shift with Intel over in leixlip so I will play any thursday up until christmas, but after start of jan will move to the other end of the week so will only be able to play 4/8 weeks as I work days for 4 and nights for 4.

So it was either Kevin or Chris. I'm almost sure there was a guy called Chris there last night but not certain.

Ok, point taken. The last date I have booked in is the 10th, so I will book the 17th as well, then we will have to take a break as the next two Thursdays are 24th (Christmas eve) and 31st (New Years).

So last game in December will be 17th, and we will start back again on the 7th of January.

What would people think of paying up front for the block of games after Christmas? The last couple of groups I played with did this, and it worked out pretty well.

Basically the 10 (12?) guys who are likely to be playing every week pay the €50/€60 up front for the 10 weeks. Main benefits of this are:

no need to bring cash each week
less hassle in organising, ensuring booking keeps rolling over, etc
on those freak weeks when only 6 show up, you don't end up paying a tenner a head for a 3v3
if a few people are going to be missing on a given week, it can be an easier sell to get extra guys in if you can tell them that it's a free game for them that week!
no chance of losing our slot for at least 10 weeks in a row

Downside is obviously having to cough up 10 week's cash straight after christmas!

Thoughts?
