Last year we played a regular playing Dutch side who were familiar with each other and only lost by two goals and the same with the boards side..only me, Anto and Bluebeard have played in both, so we hadn't played together as a team before and we were always going to lose heavily..Quote:

That along with the talent and fitness deficiencies of course:D
The game against boards.ie was 6-2 i think with only a goal or 2 in it at half time, which considering they'd all played together regularly,had the right footwear and were a hell of a lot fitter wasn't as bad as it sounds.
Just had an email from Astro there. Here's the base of what they said to me:
If my maths are right, it breaks down around €100 a head for the whole season. €1832 divided by 20 =c.€91Quote:

I think we should hold off til the summer season tbh. Remember we'd have to buy a whole set of gear as well which would cost a bit
Yep thats right we began to feel it in the second part of the second half.Quote:

It sounds a good idea - figure out a regular squad through a few games between yourselves, and play a good few friendlies during the Winter if possible (watch as the numbers dwindle in the wet!). Fund raise at the same time, and come the Summer season, you should have people interested, "Fit" and enthusiastic, plus the money for the kit will be raised, and by then someone should have tricked dahamsta into getting his internet empire to sponsor the team.
I reckon that it wasn't just as a team that some of us hadn't played before:eek:Quote:

Well, let's see how the general consensus goes.
The problem with joining a summer league is a lot of the players joining later are ones that wouldn't be able to play in the summer in the first place, so we're cutting a 6/7 players out of the team straight away.
Just got off the phone with UCD. All the pitches are free on Sunday but we have to pay on booking, in other words Sunday.
Forgot about that sorry:oQuote:

I've decided to join the boards.ie side for the new season so hopefully there wont be a clash as I'll choose boards over this one. The manager is a mate so I'd feel bad otherwise. Fully committed otherwise. See you all Sunday
Best of luck with it. If you want to join later on you can.Quote:

To be honest, I read it bout 4 or 5 times and I was still unsure what you meant. :o
Right so. Makes perfect sense to me. I'll play for both teams unless the games are the same night and then I'll choose boards first
Fair enough.
Yeah I'm in the same boat. Be more than happy to play for both if it's a possibility.Quote:
