tullow: soccerball for youngish veteran?

dexxy

ok, i've had a mooch round the web and i have of-course noticed where parkville play but can anyone advise me on which of the clubs in tullow (actually I wouldn't mind one of the nearby towns if needs be) I might, at the mighty age of 37, be able to pick up a game? heck, i might even go training if it's deemed absolutely necessary:D

Parkville are back training this thursday at 7.15pm
You'd be more than welcome to come along. Last year we'd 3 teams and the was a 35 year old playing on the 2nds. Think he hung up his boots this year though.

If you're paranoid about the age thing there is an over 35s league. It has 7 teams. Wolfhill, New Oak, Nurney, Thomastown, Killeshin, Stradbally and St Fiaccs.

Where are you from (or living?)

dexxy

from dub, moved to tullow a couple of years ago. haven't played a full season since god knows when. might come down to parkville thursday- haven't yet decided how hung-up on age thing i am

ShayK1

you're welcome. Might see you there so.

upthepark

word on the street in an over 35's team for Parkville for the 09-10 season

ShayK1

cool, they had one 2 or 3 years ago so it'd be great if they re-entered one.

dexxy

a parkville vets side would be ideal.

am i right in thinking that st. fiacc's in graiguenamanagh, carlow is the handiest (for tullow) of the seven teams that shayK1 kindly mentioned played in the over-35s last season?

St Fiaccs is in Graiguecullen. Of those teams mentioned New Oak would probably suit you best. They play in Carlow town close to the Fairgreen shopping centre. But if Parkville do get a team together that would probably be ideal.

Oh off topic, apoligies, but any word on a manager for Parkvilles premier team yet Shay?

Villain

Parkville are hoping to have over 35's this year, so anyone interested try and get as many as possible down Thursday night.

dexxy

Thinking you definitely should go - talking boots are not a good sign

training? surprisingly unbad. playing centre half for a few minutes? absolutely appalling, both physically and morally:D

you slotted in nicely at left back, though

Ah that makes more sense. I didn't know who Pat Horan was. Pat Ronan is an excellent manager. Was over the Oscar Traynors last year. Presume he still is this year. Should give Parkville every chance at the title this year.

you're kidding me?? I dunno if it was the humidity or just the general unfitness of it all but I thought I defended TERRIBLY!!

Nope, nay kidding. and anyhoo, at least we didn't concede a goal in the first passage of play after you came on. holy fork!

there's consolation to be had though in that none of the boss's, eh, interesting words at half-time were levelled at us

dexxy

how went things on planet p.ville last night, shay? i didn't get back from work 'til all hours last night so missed all the fun:eek:

ShayK1

it wasn't great. Playing against 2 Irish international strikers is NOT fun. I played about 50 minutes and I was F*CKED!
