Dear Players,
RE: 13th March 2010 – Training sessions is OFF
On behalf of Irish Football Management team and it has been decided not to schedule any Ireland Deaf football activities between 21st February and Easter Weekend (2nd April) to allow the players to focus on their club matches (Ireland management hope to watch as many club games as possible).

See you on 21st February at AUL complex at 10.30am and please sell your four tickets (Monster draw €25each). Those fund raising will be covered your training camps, foods and other expenses.
