Puerto Rico Boardgame

**++Looking for new players++** We play a 6v6 outdoor game every Wednesday @ 8:00PM in SportsCo, Dublin 4. The pitch we use has been recently refurbished with plenty of space to move around (*bibs provided*). To encourage passing and flowing football, goals can only be scored from inside the penalty area. Games are played in a friendly atmosphere and slide tackles are prohibited. We generally don't have stick keepers and use a last-man back policy. There is a core group of regular players who have played with us for years but we also need a handful of pickup players (men) every week. If pickup players like the vibe they have the option to subscribe on a longer-term basis... usually €60-€70 per quarter. This game has been running on the same pitch for over a decade. The games are good quality with good technical players and played in a nice, competitive atmosphere.

Greetings to everyone - As this Wednesday sees Christmas Eve, there will be no weekly run this week (or next as it's New Years Eve!) - So, see you next year.... It's been another great year for the Group with new faces and old, all entering into the spirit of what the Group is all about. May I take this opportunity to wish everyone, old and new, a Very Happy Christmas or whatever Festival you Celebrate at this time of the year. I know many will have left Ireland since running with us, and the Holiday Period may be very different where you are, but know that you are always welcome to come out with the Group if and when you return to our shores. ***Nollaig Shona agus Athbhliain faoi Mhaise daoibh go léir*** Gach rath ón Airgintín Liam
