Foot.ie Challenge Cup summer games

[Colm]

A few of us were having a chat about this yesterday and we reckon that it would be well within the bounds of possibility to get foot.ie Challenge cup games going every saturday at a regular time.
I'd be pretty sure that we would almost always be able to get at least 10 people willing to play.
It's good fun and good for our appalling but significantly improving fitness levels, however we don't play often enough.
So how about it folks, we provisionally say that we will have a game every saturday at whatever time (5.30 perhaps?) and stick with provided we have at least 10 players?

Sign your name below if you're interested...

[Gary]

Ya, I be well up for that as well.

One question though, who will play the "holding role up front"?

[Ref]

Every Saturday @ 3:30pm

Leisureworld

Be there at 5pm and we'll try and start on time!

lets try and make it 6 v 6.

(longford game is a 2:00pm kick off.)

Yeah, fine by me.

[James]

3.30pm KO prob better given the tendancy of some city fans to end up in colemans park supporting queenstown of a sat night :)

[Gary]

3.30 is too early seeing as some of us have a tendency to goto the pub after, and stay there. Id be more along the lines of 6.30. That way, people who are working saturday will mostly be finished.

However, im good any time on a saturday.

[sadloserkid]

Ah feck it! I'm actually in Cork this weekend but it's my last weekend with herself for the summer so I'll be demanned if I suggest heading off to play football on Saturday! Next time for sure! :(

[Colm]

Eanna says he'll play also

Non-Mods team is looking very bare, c'mon non-mods get ye're names down.

We'll stick with 3.30 for this week but in future a 5.30 or 6.30 KO would be much better because, as GWA said, some of us have a tendancy of going to the pub after and not leaving it for quite some time so the early kick offs might just make that situation even worse!:) :D

Agreed, seeing as how I work till 6 amost every saturday.

And for the record, I think this whole mods v non mods thing is getting a bit boring to be honest. We need to mix up the teams every week to freshen things up and make it more interesting.

Well, to tell the truth, I'm sick of beatin em' :D

[Ref]

in future so we'll pick the names out of a hat and that'll be that.

i have 6 green bibs that could be used for one team to save all the hassle with jerseys?

pitch is booked for 3:30pm saturday.

AND WE NEED MORE PEOPLE!!

I dunno, I think that would be more boring. At least the way it is there is a slight competitive edge i.e. Mods always want to beat the Non-mods and vice versa.

[Gary]

Keep is mods Vs Non mods for the time being.

Im sure @ndy will play for the non mod scum saturday anyways.

[Ref]

mods v non mods it is so.

:)

Grrrrrr. Some of us have to work saturday nights. maybe we could alternate it or something? Say 3;30 one week and 6;30 the next or whatever?

[SÓC]

The Non-Mods have signed a deal with @ndy to sign for us on loan from UCD for the match.

[Gary]

Ruairis cousdin Paul also wants to play. i said not a bother. So he ccan be another for the non mods i spose.
