    Hi Lads,

    Does anybody know of any free sites I can use to create a playbook? Like a glorified Paint even would be handy.

    Cheers.

    That is actually brilliant. If you were to do it for 5v5 would be great. (without asking for too much maybe add in RB Flare and Arrow)

    cool, I'll have a look at it while the game is on tonight - it's a bit temperamental so if you have any issues let me know!

    the 86ers will be in wadelai park Glasnevin tomorrow from 11-1 holding a training session for anyone interested in coming down. This is very close to Dcu for new students who wish to come down and see what its all about and join in. We are also looking for contacts within the college to help re-establish the relationship the team had with the college for several years.

    Hi all,

    I'm most likely going to contact the teams that have been in contact with me tomorrow but the 86ers are considering hosting a Tournament the end of November first weekend of December. we would need at least 3 teams to confirm before we go getting pitches (looking into all weather) so if you run a team and want to take part get in contact. also if there are any individuals or groups who would like to come down we will encourage it and we will either get u with a team or something. Jason 86ers.

    Hi guys,

    The Dublin City 86ers are considering holding a tournament around Thanksgiving , this would be the 24th November or the1st December the way the year falls. We need expressions of interest for this within the next week or so, so we can start organising pitches etc. We are hoping to use all weather pitches so we don't need to worry about the chances of the pitch being unplayable. We feel thanksgiving could be a great way to promote the sport. we would at least 3 teams to confirm for this to go ahead we will try keep costs minimal but the more teams the cheaper it will be for everyone (all weather pitches cost more).

    If your team is unable to make these days but would like a game or two get in contact also as we are looking to get as many games over the next few months.

    we would use the 2011 ifaf rules for the event
    http://www.eurobowl.info/download/IFAF_Flag_Rules_2011.pdf

    the only changes we would recommend would be

    the play clock put back to 30 seconds (we have been training with 25 and it slows the game down as delay of game is called every 4th play!)

    Towels allowed to be worn by centre (its Ireland its going to be wet!)

    the more elaborate the TD celebration the better

    if everyone agrees to this then they will be used.

    Can you reply to jasondeans1@gmail.com

    Thanks,

    Regards etc,

    Jason Deans, Dublin City 86ers

    Just to add to this, it will take place on the practice pitch in the college. It's towards the back of the north campus beside the Gaa and soccer pitch. Should be good!
