Varsities training

Training has been going well. We've started up a third training session this week so now we're playing mondays wednesdays and thursdays and training is up to two hours a week and added to that most of the team are still playing and scrimiging in their free time.
The biggest surprise has come from the lads that havn't made the team. They have been willing to play hard in training and many of them have come on in huge leaps and bounds. So much so that the players on the panel have had to play and work even harder to keep their positions in check. One way or another the selectors have a lot to think about and are going to need to be careful that they pick the right players for the job down in Dublin soon.

And then there were 12

So the team for the varsities has been chosen and thankfully I've been picked so really happy to get the call up on my first year. Here is the team that will be traveling to the tournemant-
1. Darren McGovern
2. Brian O'Donnell
3. Stephen Nolan
4. Gerard Cunningham
5. Tommy Contremoulin
6. Tim Breutnar
7. Zhang Chen (Big John)
8. Andy O'Brien
9. Adhamh O'Maolagain
10. Lu Hao Han
11. Samual Svosve
12. John Loughlin

It's a strong team. We've trained hard since getting back and I think everybody has a very strong appetite for this tournement. I'ts a last chance at glory for a few of the guys and I know they want to go out with a bang. Training is going to continue all the way up to the competition so hopefully we can push ourselves and make a real impact. The big thing we've heard is that Tallaght IT will be playing in the division 1 competition and they would have been our main concern. Hopefully we don't f!$&*k it up.

So Lets get you up to speed

Hello ladys and gents.Hope you all had a good time over the christmas and new year period. I always found that Christmas is a good time to look back and to look forward.
Looking back, lets be honest we had a piss poor seasoon for a team as good as I believe we are. I believe we finished mid table which for the talent we have should never have happened. But no point dwelling on that.
We have had a fair fallout since christmas with a few of our better known players not joining us again. Fran, Jay, Adas and a few others have been almost non existence. I'd just like to say guys you were awesome and I hope you come back to the fold.
Looking forward, VARSITIES!!!! Yes boys and girls its the time of the year when league form counts for nothing and one long weekend of basketball is on the cards where teams like ourselves get to put up or shut up!!!
I'll be honest I'm very loud and I like that so I'm not really in the mood for shuting up.
We currently are waiting patiently to see who is chosen for the team as only a lucky 12 can go. Hunger in training has been very visible but over this weekend the fates of the players will be in the balance.
We wait........
