    Hey folks, the Boards Football Team is on the hunt for new players.

    We are coming to the end of the season (3 games left) and aren't in a position to win (first year in many), this allows us to use our last 3 games to give new players a run.

    Games are on Tuesday Nights, they start between 19:00-21:00
    Games are in Dundrum or Knocklyon on Astro pitches.

    We are recruiting for all positions.
    We operate a team first ethos and this has served us well over many years.

    We have a manager, we have kit and generally we're pretty well organised, aswell as being a sound bunch of lads.

    If you're interested come over to the forum and post in the thread with your name and position(s)

    Decent enough.

    Most teams play good football with a few proper hoofball teams.

    Come up and have a game or watch and you'll get an idea

    What time of year is your season? I'm playing with a team at the minute but the season is finishing up April-ish. I don't think I'll be staying with them next year, as I can't commit to training twice a week plus matches. That leads to my second question, is there training? Or is it just matches? basically, what sort of commitment is required?

    Matches once a week, no training.

    We have 3 games left this season.

    New season likely to kick off mid April

    It's actually perfect for people like yourself, we have a lot of guys who work long hours, or weekends, or who have families which means they don't want to commit to training twice weekly plus a match.

    There is an ask that you keep yourself reasonably fit, because the pace of the game on Astro is pretty frenetic compared to grass, and it's non-stop for the 60 minutes. Roll-on-Roll-off subs help too, and we look to keep a squad of 15/16 players, meaning we'd get 13/14 lads per game ideally (work, injuries, holidays etc keeping one or two lads away at a time).

    I'd say fitness is worth at least the same as footballing level in terms of getting a game - a lad who can play a bit but keep running for the full 60 has mroe chance of getting a game than a lad who can pass like Pirlo and score like Messi for twenty minutes.

    We've a close knit team ethos, you'll not be berated for trying the right thing, even if it doesn't come off, but you will be expected not to try to do everything yourself, or get on the backs of players constantly.

    It's a good standard, and we have some proper quality players in a lot of positions.

    If you can make it to any of the three remaining games, then please do.
    I'll guarantee any new faces at least a half each week, if not more.

    Summer Season runs from about April for 18 weeks (10 team league, play each other twice).

    Winter then runs from October to Feb, with a 2 week break at Xmas.

    Match Dates Venue & Times

    Tues 24th Feb Benildus 9pm
    Tues 3rd March Colmcilles 9pm
    Tues 10th March Colmcilles 8pm

    Thanks for getting back to me lads. I won't make it down on Tuesday as I'm working late. I'm going to finish out the season with the team I'm with but I'd definitely be interested in joining for the summer league.

    Went to see them play for the first time last week. The standard is good and they have a few stalwarts who've been playing for a few years. However they could definitely do with a few new recruits as players often have other commitments and also there were one or two certainly carrying the odd niggling injury the other night

    Check out the link in the OP to the Boards Football Team Forum for more info or if you want to ask the team, or it's management, anything more
