Boardeaux Looking for players

Boardeaux Looking for players.

Boardeaux will be starting their 7th Season in the next Month or so, and are looking for players.

Who are Boardeaux?

Boardeux is the Boards.ie Football Team.

Where/When do you play?

We play in the www.astro.ie 11-a-side League, on Tuesday evenings in locations around the South of Dublin (the Summer '09 Season was all played in Wesley College, Ballinteer Road, and the Winter Season '09/'10 looks to be the same). The games are at 7.15, 8.15, 9.15 and sometimes 10.15.

How good is the team?

In the Winter 08/09 Season we came Second in our division, and in this current season, with one game left we are currently in third, with a good possibility of finishing in second again, depending on results.

We concede less than a goal a game (16 conceded in 17 games so far this year), and have scored 42, both of these totals are the second best records in the division. We have 7 clean sheets.

Am I guaranteed a game?

Simply, nobody is.

If you are good enough, and earn a place, you'll keep it. We maintain a squad of about 20/21 players, which covers injuries, absences due to other reasons and loss of form. In the last two seasons, every player in the squad was as good as a player starting in the same position, we want to keep it that way.

We are a social friendly bunch, originally set up as a way for Boards people to get together and play meaningful football. In the recent past we have become a bit more serious, and like to challenge for the title. When we started we were whipping boys, but now we are genuine challangers. We were top of the league for a while this season, only losing that when the eventual league champions beat us.

What positions do you need players for

Well, our Goalkeeper is the best in the league, so we are covered there I think, unless you are Iker Cassilas

Our defenders are very good too, but if you think you could improve on less than a goal a game conceded, I'd definitely take a look.

We have the two best wingers in the league too, but if one of them got injured, we'd be short on cover there. So if you are a good winger, let me know.

I'm also looking for a centre midfielder. That's not to take away from my current centre mids, but I'd like more cover there.

I've also just been told that I'm losing one of my best strikers, so need one of them too.

Do I have to Pay?

Yes, it costs €120 per persoon for a season. A season is 18 Games long. The payment covers League Fees, Referee Fees and team equipment (including footballs, etc).


How do I sign up

Before you commit to anything, remember the following points.

1. This is Ireland. Winter nights are cold and rainy and windy and freezing. If you don't want to play football in those conditions, don't sign up.

2. It will be winter. There WILL be Champions League games on Tuesdays. If you'd prefer to stay in and watch football than come out and play on a cold winter tuesday, don't sign up.

3. There is competition for places. If you are a prima donna and whinge if you don't start, don't sign up.

4. It's €120 to join, this is non refundable once the season starts.

After all that, if you are still interested, then drop a PM to Manager Des, or Assistant manager Michael. Or post in the Forum

We will have friendly games organised for the pre-season, so we can have a look at new players, and new players can check us out too.

Hope to hear from some of you!
