This year Mixed Bag United will be celebrating our tenth anniversary. Over the last decade a huge range of people have participated in our weekly Monday night matches. In fact we’ve had representatives from:
2 genders (we’re always open to a third…)
age 8 to mid 60s (he wouldn’t tell us his exact age…)
6 continents (Antarctican players would always be welcome…)
20+ countries (too many to name, but there are plenty more to go…)
There’s also been the odd dog too!

It’s that time of year again, time to polish your boots and get ready for this year’s 8 a side extravaganza! Numbers are limited, but at time of writing there are still a couple of places available. Don’t delay! See below for details:
Mixed Bag United are running a charity 8 a side tournament on Saturday May 26th 2012. The venue will be the all-weather pitch at Scarriff GAA Club. There will be only 8 teams, so places are limited – apply early to avoid missing out. The teams will be divided into two leagues of four teams. In the first stage the teams will play the other teams in their league. Matches will last approximately 20 minutes. The top two teams in each league will qualify for the knockout stage, which will consist of two semi finals and a final. The winning team will be presented with the Iniscealtra Community Shield, which is to have their team name engraved upon it, and which they can display in a public venue of their choice for a year. A full set of rules is available upon request.
If you would like to enter a team then contact Phil at 087 2368777. You can guarantee your place with a €50 deposit to be received before Friday 4th May. You can have up to 10 players in your team. The cost of entry is €10 per player.

To mark the festive season we played a long game in chilly weather on the astroturf, followed by a meal and family social in a nearby pub. Thirteen hardy souls braved icy roads to play, and a fast paced game was enjoyed by all. Some past members of the club turned up, which made for a great re-union meet.
Mixed Bag United is facing something of a crisis: too few people are coming on Mondays and we are losing money. Things are now critical, so an emergency meeting is planned for tomorrow following the game in Scariff to look for solutions. The venue will be Jakko’s at approximately 9.15pm. All welcome.
