August 2008


Hey lads,
Good turnout at training last night. On the goalkeeper front, we need a second goalkeeper.
If you have a mate or know someone who could be interested could you get in touch thanks.
Daragh and I had a word after training with the squad regards what our aims/plan for the season.
I’ve included the Word document.
Regards midweek we currently have 16 in the squad for Tuesday. We’ll end up bringing
14 players so that we’re not wasting peoples time getting out of work early and possibly not getting a run.
We’ll update them on Monday after seeing if anyone has knocks/can’t make it with work.
Who has the Black + White kit ? Update Andrew Fleury.
Regards
Ronan
