Joint Training

In a bid to pool numbers Broccoli and Johnny Chimpo have decided to train together for a few sessions. The first such training took place last Sunday in Herbert Park and saw 28 players partake in a gruelling 2 hour affair that was well received across the board. We will be doing this again next weekend so keep Sunday morning free.

See you then,

Pre-Pick Up Skills Clinics

Just a quick note to say that as mentioned on emails recently the IFDA Coaching staff are running free clinics on various different skills that we might be familiar with but don't have mastered. There's a full list of what's being covered on the IFDA website in the Coaching section.


See you there!

The season ahead

So after a long discussion about where we'd play, what our aims are and what we want from the season we decided on the following:

The Seige of Limerick (February 14/15) - http://ul-ultimate.110mb.com/

Tour Zero (April 25/26) - www.ukultimate.com/story/calendar_2009_announcement

Toms Tourney
(May 1/2/3) - www.tomstourney.be

Windmill Windup (June 12/13/14) - www.windmillwindup.com

Given this is quite a short, but intense, season we are looking into a couple of more relaxed options in the summer and in the autumn. I'll keep you posted.

It's been a while...


Well! Since November there's been a lot on everyone's plate, from Christmas dinner to exams and skiing/snowboarding trips (with or without broken legs). I guess the most important thing, club-wise, was the team meeting we had in late November when we elected a committee and planned the season ahead. More details about to follow.

In December we held the inaugral Bubblegum Club Hat Tournament in Herbie which saw 70 or more come out on a frosty day and play. It was a huge success, earning over €900 for the charity and suppying 60 people with lovely white t-shirts with our logo on the back. McCloskeys showed their usual generosity and we had guest appearances from both Al and Fi! The night out that followed was impressively wild with many storiesto be told. Photos of the days play are here:

January sees the beginning of the New Year (surprisingly enough) and with it a packed calendar of fitness, training, tournaments and much, much more. Keep an eye on this blog and on the soon(ish)-to-be-launched website www.broccoliultimate.com for more news.
