NEW YEARS SQUAD SHAPING UP NICELY
AS NEW SIGNING 'JETO'
BAGS THE PROVERBIAL HATFUL
A good run out last Thursday night saw our team involved in a 25 goal thriller at their state of the art training grounds, beside Kilbarry dump.A great turnout saw a 6 a side contest develop into a cracking game. Notable absences on he team sheet included Danson, putting to an end his incredible record run of being there nearly always.After picking up a 'knock' doing 'something' some time ago , his treatment is progressing nicely,and provided the 'swelling' goes down is expected to be available for selection next week.
With a lively pace from the get-go, Xavi led the charge with 3 goals in as many minutes without reply, but suggestions of an ill-matched contest were soon put to rest with the unveiling of new signing Jimmy 'Jeto' Power.
Arriving fresh from his 5 year stint in South East Asia, where he runs a lucrative franchise of orphanages - he immediately struck up an understanding with midfield generals - the Gary brothers. Scoring at will, he notched up 9 goals before the final whistle. Finishing on the winning side, only one goal seperated the 2 teams with a 12-13 final score.
New signing 'JETO' with Fad Maher yesterday.
With high tun-outs now a regular occurance, and a couple of games in the pipeline - Supervalue Tramore & WIT Select XI , and talks of a summer tour to Majorica for a specially organised tournament - the future does indeed look bright. All's we need now is a manager, a captain, a coach, some kit and a name. We need a name. And them some t-shirts. And we need some more pictures on the blog like this.

Yes indeed. Having vanquished all foes in the Waterford district (well, one team of cobbled together students anyway), it's now time for a new challenge.
We've been invited to compete in a 7 a side tournament for ageing hasbeens and never weres on the island paradise of Majorca this summer..who's up for it? Weekend of 7-8 June has been provisionally penciled in but that can be changed. I'm up for it anyway....it will be 3 or 4 nights of drinking interspered with a few games of football. Now THAT'S a holiday.
So....anyone interested? if we can rustle up even half a team we can make up the rest with a few ringers. Europe is calling...who will answer the call!
