Many months ago, Shane and I were idly discussing the possibilities of starting our own Tag Rugby team to take part in the ITRA Summer League (http://www.tagrugby.ie). At the time, lots of people said 'yeah, sure! I'll play!'. On March 1st, registration for the summer leagues opened, but sadly we didn't notice for two days, and as a result the best venues were gone (for us, would have been Booterstown). So, after some hurried emails to the tune of 'Do you remember back in November you said you'd play Tag? - Well, you did', we registered our team last night. There was a bit of a rush to make sure we got the last place going in the Terenure RFC Beginners League, so we had to come up with a name in a hurry. Between myself, Tom, Oisin, Jill and Susan, the best we could come up with was 'Keltic Kangaroos', (I prefered Wallaby Wannabies, but was over-ruled!).....
So, Shane, as the only one of us who has played Tag before has kindly agreed to take up the roles of Captain, Coach, Manager, Trainer, Physio, Mascot and Personal Trainer. We're hoping to train somewhere around Booterstown/Blackrock maybe on thursdays and again on saturday or sunday for people who want to. Shane is also suggesting that we play his work team, and hopefully we can also play the Hostelworld team, so we may have some experience under our belts before we play our first competitive game in late May...
Go the 'Roos!
