5 aside football in Dublin for people in 50s/60s?

Tusky

Howdy.

My dad was a keen footballer all throughout his life but stopped in his late 30s/early 40s. I know he would love a weekly kick around but he is 61 now and obviously wouldn't be able to keep up with younger lads.

Does anyone know of any 5 aside games for older folk in Dublin?

Only thing I can find is walking football in Irishtown on Friday mornings. Anyone know anything about it?

Don't know anything about it but my friends dad plays it due to a heart condition, harder than it looks apparently!

Where is he based? I see a new game was set up in Poppintree recently
