should this not be in the Premier/First division LOI section??

I presume it is an attempt to get teams for the tournament...

Only pulling your leg oxo!!!

Might do myself..... always enter a team, and getting numbers is always difficult, you going to come down alone?

**LeixlipRed** · 26/04/2009, 6:14 PM

Buller is a decent player. Should make a good addition to your team.

I was coming down for the Volvo ocean race thing with a group of friends (LOI supporters actually) and I've seen the 5 a side before and always wanted to play in it.
Doubt my friends would be of good enough standard to get anywhere. I could try to persuade another decent player to come down if you're making up numbers for a team though.

Oxotown have ye many entered in this at the moment? Is there still time?

**Oxotown** · 27/04/2009, 6:50 PM

Golden rules about the 5's are a)having a guy who will defend and not stray to far around the pitch as they are very big, believe me. b)Preferably a speed merchant(who can also finish) up front who will harass and work his nuts off=fitness c)Playmaker in midfield to pull the strings...Not asking for alot, am I!

**DotTV** · 27/04/2009, 8:31 PM

A test for the speed merchant is if he can make it down and back to O'learys with three bottles of B in 5 minutes!

**Oxotown** · 28/04/2009, 6:38 AM

Hi twofooted, yes of course there is still time, traditonally I know that alot of teams enter late upto the week before hand. However, the club are taking online bookings this year and a number of teams are using this route at the moment as it easier. If you are thinging of it I would enter asap. I would say you will be alright but there is alot happening in Galway that weekend with the Volvo/red arrows going on so there will probably be extra demand. Let me know how you get on or if you are having difficulty entering. cheers.

**Oxotown** · 04/05/2009, 6:33 PM

And a burger for good measure

**Oxotown** · 13/05/2009, 7:56 PM

OK folks, last 2 weeks to enter, get you entries in NOW before its too late. Who wants to watch boats when you can be playing in the legendary fives.

**Oxotown** · 13/05/2009, 9:29 PM

last entry 2 weeks away, get them in now

**dahamsta** · 14/05/2009, 11:21 PM

Threads merged and moved.

Oxotown, familiarise yourself with the rules or you won't be allowed to continue posting on Foot.ie.

**smellyfeet** · 25/05/2009, 1:52 PM

I'll be up in Galway that weekend and would be willing to play if any team still looking for players

**Oxotown** · 26/05/2009, 4:04 PM
