Anyone play Sunday league on here?

The GAA play games on Sundays apart from that there is very little football played in Northern Ireland on a Sunday. I played from I was 14 to over 40 both GAA and soccer.
Started of as a flying winger but gradually moved back to midfield and then defence as the years went on.
In one of my last games I played in a four man defence with a combined age of over 150. We played on a pitch beside the first team, three of us had sons playing in that first team game. Both teams won despite the three of us spending more time watching our sons than watching our game.
Happy days.

3-2 up with 5 minutes to go lost 4-3...

opposition had 4 shots and scored all 4... we had around 12/15 and were wasteful

3 games 3 losses

A couple of years ago my team had a terrible season. Only got 1 point all season, and that was from a 0-0 draw on the last day. One game we were 4-1 up at half time. Got pulled back to 4-4 in the 90th minute, but we went straight back up the other end and scored. Still managed to lose 6-5.

Then last season we were unbeaten all season. 2 wins away from winning the league and it got voided.

Yeah. I almost made reps at Central Coast Under 16s, but not quite.

Is John Hutchinson still involved at Central Coast? He's originally from near where I am and I played Sunday league with his cousin. He ran training sessions for us a few times when he was visiting family. Lovely bloke, he played international level for Malta iirc.
 

Its the characters I miss. Every team had them.

But my Sunday team had a lad called Jacko. He would play anywhere, and wasnt bad. Once wore a scarf when in goal. Anyrate, he had been a marine, and looked like one. Y'know, lithe, squat, and very very quiet. He hardly spoke a word. Literally, an "aye" to "want a pint Jacko?", and that was that.

Lived with his mum, Pearl, aged 30 plus.

So we were in the pub post match, usual crap, there was a lull in the conversation, and Jacko perked up.

"Starting college next week" Us, in silence. All look at him, literally the first actual conversation he had started.

"What you doing Jacko?" says someone.

"Communication Studies".

Scenes.

Hahaha. I'm sure we've all had the goalie in a pair of jeans hungover, stands there smoking with a can by the post. Thank god we were good or we would have had to get rid of him. Mind you, he was an unbelievable shot stopper.

Probably posted the story before, but we had a goalie with an awful stammer, especially on S. He was, obviously, called Simon. Corners were a nightmare.

Some sadist gave him a job at Sun Life in Bristol. In the customer service bit.

Phone goes. "Hello, Sun Life Service Centre, Simon speaking"

And both stories are 100% true.

How did you manage to keep a side together after such a awful run? Generally these days guys quit and show no loyalty after a few losses
