OVER-35S SOCCER
There was a six-a-side game last weekend after numbers were down slightly on the norm. The game ended in a win for the older boys as the younger lot seemed to be full of runners, but lacking in defenders, which is the core of any team. Dessie got another few goals which was enough to see his team through by a two goal margin. Butler was missing in action but should return to the fold this week after his travels – welcome back Séamie for hopefully some more enjoyable games throughout Easter.
Games take place on a Saturday evening at 6 p.m. in Grantstown sports complex – please turn up 15 minutes in advance. If any new comers would like to join, you’re more than welcome to come along. For further information, please feel free to give Dave a call at 086 8596627. The cost is only €5 per player.
