We all play a bit of 5 aside football from time to time just for the craic of it. It's a good enough way to get a bit of exercise and it loosen's the legs inbetween training. The GAA are pushing for more recreational games in the same mould as 5 aside soccer, fella's coming together for a game. No league, no winners or losers (even though we always keep the score, Brian Muldoon's the score keeper for the Drummullan games, he's doesn't do much else in fairness :-)
Well what about applying the same principle to a bit of Beach Gaelic. Here's the idea. Set up a series of pitch's with the plastic posts at Magilligan beach on one Saturday of every month during the summer.
Players can register a 5 aside team with me. The players can be still playing club football or could have retired, it's not really club based any group of players can make a team, they could be past housemates in student digs in Belfast or a team of brothers etc.
If I knew teams that were coming I could do up groups and ensure teams get three or four 20 minute games. Every player could pay a couple of pound, someone could do a barbecue and the entrance fee would get everyone a hotdog or burger!
Just an idea, what do you think?
