* This Saturday 26th October 2013 Dromara GAC will host their first 7-A-Side Social Football Tournament. If there is anyone interested in playing in the competition please contact Conor McCann, Shay Flanagan or Terry Connolly. This is for adults who do not play competitive football. There is no lower age limit either. Ulster GAA are promoting Social Gaelic Football Tournaments as part of a drive to engage those club members who don’t feature for club senior or reserve teams in competitive leagues. More than likely this group consists of over 35s but basically anyone who wants to play for a bit of fun and enjoyment and wants to keep fit can participate. There are two major rules govern the playing of social football: only incidental contact is permitted (basically no shouldering so the risk of injury is reduced) and players are restricted to two touches (2 x solo or 1 x solo and 1 x bounce).
