Next Game 9th of May and photo copies of passports

thanks to everyone who showed up!

2-2 was probably a fair result, hopefully Brian, Alex, Stevie will all recover from knocks taken during a hard fought draw.

the next game is on Friday 9th May at half 7 - venue to be advised but it should be a lovely grass pitch...

Everyone is requested to bring a photocopy of passport and two passport size photos to Finnegan's pub by the 3rd of May.

just leave them with the bar staff and they will sort it out

take it easy

Friendly Game Thursday 24th April 20:45

MEETING POINT TONIGHT - 20:45 LARGO PRENESTE

in case you are late....

The entrance to the pitch is just off Via di Portonaccio... i.e. go to Largo Preneste cross the Via Prenestina and walk approximately 150 metres up Via di Portonaccio. Take the first right before the bridge and walk up a small dirt track - if you are on the bike this dirt road is contro senso but everybody just drives up it... you will see the pitch and parking on your right.

l’ingresso del campo si trova all’incrocio esatto di Via Latino Silvio e Via di Portonaccio. Se vai su tutto cittá, si vede bene. Quindi venendo dal centro, arrivati a Largo Preneste girate a sinistra per Via di Portonaccio e, prima del ponte e prima della strada con i lavori in corso, salite sulla porticina che troverete sulla vostra destra.


hi

thanks to everyone who showed up on Saturday... thanks also to Eugene, Tony and Leo who came along anyway despite being injured!

It's always good to win 3-0 but we musn't get carried away... our Mister said we are getting "slightly" better but this is no time for complacency as our next game will be our toughest test so far!

THIS THURSDAY AT 9 pm we are playing "Valdurz" a battle hardened amateur team who have been playing together for as long as 15 years...

the venue is "Roma 6" which is just off the Prenestina (Largo Preneste) - you enter from via Pietralata.. HOWEVER WE ARE ALL MEETING AT 20:45 AT LARGO PRENESTE AS THE K.OFF ISNT UNTIL 21:00... so see you at Largo Preneste or directly at the pitch.

NB the surface is "terra battuta" or better just dirt... i.e. quite hard and not the ideal surface on which to do slide tackles...

hi guys

the deposit has been paid and once again a big thanks to Micky Burns the owner of the Finnegans pub for being so generous...

Thanks also to our very own "Mister" Max Capuzi who has agreed to manage us this year, Max's pedigree speaks for itself having played centre half in Serie C1 and then later in the twilight years of his career captaining the Italian National Lawyer's team to world cup glory in the middle east... in between those crowning moments he managed to squeeze in a couple of 8 a side championships with Fins.

Update on present situation:

those 22 players selected for the squad will be give a free "all black" tracksuit to either take home with them or donate to their nearest charity shop...

regarding the strips, our colours will again be green shorts, green tops which will go nicely with our black tracksuits when we take part in the COMPULSORY Flag wielding open day ceremony on Saturday 24 May... by the way we will have a game that day too so make sure you don't have weddings and what not planned!
