The American way

Many of my readers – perhaps even both of you – will spend this rainy Sunday night in front of the fire, watching the NFL action on Sky.

American Football has now more than a cult following, I would suggest, on this side of the water. The Cork Admirals compete in the Irish American Football League (IAFL). It is some operation, as I saw for myself here.

I received an email from the Admirals, who are again recruiting players for the upcoming season which begins in March. For anyone interested, the details are below and there are plenty of other teams around the country who are no doubt in the same need for players.

[We] are always looking for more to get involved as the sport and its clubs are a big set up from coaching staff to game day crews, club members and of course they the sport is demanding of high numbers for its squad set up. A lot of people think the Admirals have no openings which is quite the opposite and if you are interested in learning more or getting involved look up their website for contacts www.corkadmirals.net and there are plenty of links to other teams around the country
