anyone interested? who is that goes and enters our teams?


and apparently theres a campsite next to the pitch and theres a festival on at the same time.... unless theres something else on to say we havnt talked about this one before?

snickers "get some nuts"?

ah, but does anyone NOT want to do marathon and want to do polo instead? :)

Boom!

Team entered, money paid, cat in cradle etc...

1. Diarmuid Ryan
2. Niall Bouchier
3. Helena Coughlan (c)
4. Jean Kelly
5. Lorcan Fields
6. Dervla McAuley
7. Garbhann Gorman
8. Cormac Roche (eejit)

The entry will be E85 between us. We'll be able to camp beside the pitches - I hope to even bring a tent this time. Killaloe hosts it's local festival this weekend so it should be buzzing. I found a description that I think is a couple of years old, but you should get an idea of what to expect.

Drivers - Any nice, amazing people interested in driving down?

Boats - As Helena said above, there should be some down there, HOWEVER, it seems that DCU are looking for a way to get their boats down. Perhaps we could help them out in exchange for using their boats too? Up to the drivers really, what do you think?

I think that's it...

Gear borrowing, I'll have to check this, but as it's a competition we shouldn't have to privately borrow gear off the club.

Driving:
  • Diarmuid Ryan
  • Helena Coughlan

Firstly, thanks to Helena for getting the ball rolling on this topic, I just thought I'd change it round a bit to make it a little more co-ordinated.

It's another weekend long competition, very similar to the one in Galway that was damn good fun and I reckon really helped our polo.

It'll be a two day competition with about four games or so each day (depending on how well we do!). It'll be five-a-side again with rolling subs on a full pitch.

It'll be in Killaloe, Co. Clare - this is only about 2 hours away from Dublin and I believe a lovely spot.
You'll be able to camp beside the pitches, so we shouldn't have to pay for it. There should  be a couple of other college clubs there and some othere friendly folks, so good times are assured.
Sun also guaranteed.
It looks something like this...


So who's interested:
Helena
Diarmuid
Niall B
Garbhann

Ok, so I had planned to put all your comments in here, but I accidentally deleted them.
Sorry, my bad. I'm just a bit shit at this editing thing...

And yis can all stay in my house on friday and saturday night, if you want. Only twenty-thirty minutes from Killaloe.

I'm interested in this - mainly cause it's so close- but am unsure of how my wrist will be for it. You might want to get someone actually reliable (and good  :P).

It's up to Niall whether or not you need it. As far as I know, we've been getting in on blag.
