Can't wait to have a cub of my own that will take up the games.  They might not be in the best of counties for it but whether they play for the club U8's or the county seniors I'll be there to watch them, rain, hail or shine.  Thats what it was about for me and that's what i will pass on to them.  And i could care less who plays in september as long as i get to watch them in october

A very keenly contested draw this morning. Everyone happy

Remeber the days playing u8 where you'd come off the field knowing your markers life story. Good times.

Had an U6 team up at a blitz in Carryduff at the weekend, they loved it and you could see them evolving and getting into it as the games continued, scoring a goal was celebrated as if it was the premiership and goals conceded quickly forgotten about especially when the hotdogs and juice appeared.
At that age its about basic technique, grip and swing and importantly fun for them so they want to come back.

I have 3 cubs all under 5 at this stage. My 4 year old is starting to show a bit of interest in football, I was playing up till last year (36) but with the wife back to work I just can't get to training. Anyway my question is this: is he a bit young yet for the U8's what age do they need to be?

They can usually start with the 'gaelic start' program at that stage if your club runs one.
He would probably be a wee bit too young to be out on the pitch with the U8s though

For the U8's he would ideally want to be in P2. Do the club not run an U6 or Go Games programme?
