Dublin Canoe Polo League - The Situation

kmck · January 10, 2012, 12:04:18

It's a brown paper bag situation as there where a lot of kids when I used to play. We used to go to Mc donalds and use the the cups as clever comaflage!

brown paper bags dont work at all!
mcdonalds cups on the other hand, different kettle of fish, well played

Coffee mugs either - they work especially well with beer too cause it foams up - Seen me through many a last day of term

yeah disposable coffee cups are the business, no body suspects the intellectual coffee drinker

Is there room for spectators at this pool, Coach? I wanna witness a genu-wine game of canoe polo!

If they're at WWKC in Cabra there's a viewing gallery, so yes.

Finch, dave and myself, I think we have a problem that we've a choosen method for drinking in public without appearing to be drinking. I suggest a support group by the lake, bring a bevarage in a container of choice and we'll discuss this further. It's an open meeting to anyone who wants to come along!

After a heavy night last night and being still drunk for an important meeting later I'm not sure it's going to help but I suppose I could wander along......

Ok, I did my best to rearrange the team lists on teamer. So, some of you will get emails asking you to join certain teams again (cringecats / brownbears ). Please respond asap.

If your number isn't up there please add it. You'll get text notifications.

You'll have matches next friday so keep an eye out for notices up here or on fb.

Matt Flood · January 17, 2012, 18:54:03

Okay, So here it is:

The matches are as follows-

20.06 - Cringecats vs Gremlins
20.42 - Cringecats vs Epic
21.54 - Brownbears vs Sink or Swim
22.30 - Brownbears vs Va Va Voom

Gremlins weren't bad. Emphasis on the past tense cause they're shocking now and their captain is a cow.
Epic are relatively good. Emphasis on the relatively. It's Div 4, nobody is gonna be that great that we can't beat or at least put up a fight to.
Sink or Swim, says it all really.
Va Va Voom? More like Va Va Shit.

Guys, game faces on Friday. We can do well. Everyone can paddle now and rolling isn't necessary but we can practice on Thursday. Let's get a few wins under our belts! Chune to pump ye up a bit

.

This is a carefully made guide to get you to the pool. Read it. Study it. It could save your life.

I realise that the Brownbears matches are on particularly late. Not to worry. If you see the map above you will notice that two buses that serve the pool also serve UCD. The timetables for each bus are below:

46a
39a

So, you will be able to get buses back to UCD or even Dún Laoghaire if needs be. As anyone who has been to DCPL before will know, games tend to run late [10-30min sometimes] so when you get there, be punctual. That means get on and off the water asap. It's for your own good if ya want to get home early...
When coming from UCD, leave at least an hour before your game starts. Personally I'd leave UCD about 1.15 before a game [when taking the 39a]. If you wish to leave early that's no problemo. I can try to fit people in the earlier game. Remember, TRY. I can't guarantee

Bring togs (preferably shorts) and a t-shirt/rash vest (which is compulsory in order to play).
WATER. Bring the stuff. YOU WILL GET DEHYDRATED!!!

Now, most of you are on Teamer as far as I'm aware. If not confirm your attendance below or on the Teamer message board or whatever. If anyone wants to give me a hand with carrying gear or would like to get the bus with me to the pool, I should be at the Engineering Bus stop around 6.30/45. Any queries, drop me a text @ 0861921473

Bring €10 for reg fees please.

I think that's all for now.
See ye around,
Coach.
