Lads,

Can you all please confirm your status for the coming season today (whether or not you will be playing for the club). I will also need your contact details (address and phone no) for registration purposes.

Next training session is on Monday night(28th July) at 6.45 in the Phoenix Park. Anthony will be taking the session and we hope to have our new manager down as well. The season is only 3 weeks away so we need everyone down for every session.

Thanks,

Daragh

New Season

Lads,
Time for the new season !
The first round of matches is scheduled for the weekend of the 15th of August.
Pre-season is scheduled to begin next Monday in the Phoenix Park, meeting at 6.45.
Please try and make it up on time. We are currently organising with Anthony from
St. Patrick’s Athletic to come down to go through pre-season with us again this season.
I think everyone enjoyed the sessions in the Phoenix Park last year and hopefully we can
carry on from it this year.
For people who were at the end of season games, your manager from last year should have explained
what we have in mind for re-organising the club for the coming season. Instead of having a pre-defined
Saturday or Sunday squad, there will be one squad who will train twice a week.
Come Thursday night training the managers for the Saturday and Sunday league will discuss which players
are playing with each squad that weekend and will inform the players.
If for any reason you can only play a certain day please talk to the managers and they will try
to accommodate you. We want to have as many players involved in the club as we can.
There are several reasons for this change
1. This is to increase competition within the club and give the club a fair chance of competing for
league and cup honours. We believe that there is more that enough good players to be competing
for honours in both divisions.
2. Everyone will be given a fair chance to compete for places.
We want to to win things. That’s why we put in the effort and train twice and week and turn up in the cold and wet.
We believe that by creating one squad were everyone has an equal chance , we can compete for trophy-ware.
3. Unity within the club. Creating a sense of everyone being an active St. Judes member.
As part of this we will be asking two players to take on the role of social officers. This means organising
some social nights out during the year.
As part of this and pre-season can you make a note in your diary’s (book the night off from the
missus) for Saturday the 9th of August. I’ll be talking to the two managers and we’ll look to organising two games
for that day and drinks for later on that night as part of our pre-season. 7-ups obviously !
Recruiting players.
I’ve included a word document for recruiting players.
As a club we rely on people to bring friends, friends of friends,etc along to join the club.
Please email out the document to mates, people you work with, friends from the Astro league who you
think might be interested. Post it on the company’s internal website, canteen notice board etc.
We’ve bought the domain www.stjudesfootball.com and I’ll endeavour to keep it
up to date with all the match, pitch and club news as I can. If you have anything which you would like
posted please drop me a line.
Apologies to anyone who email address I don’t have. If you spot anyone missing from the list can you please
forward on their email address to me and notify them about training on Monday.
With thanks
Ronan
St. Judes Treasurer.
