On Wednesday, Northern Ireland play Scotland at the same venue and start time. The Republic of Ireland supporters will be represented by a squad of 18 chosen after a trial game in late January organised and promoted by members of You Boys in Green fans website – http://www.ybig.ie/ - www.ybig.ie Each country has chosen a charity to support and the Republic of Ireland have selected Headway Ireland, a charity that supports those with an Acquired Brain Injury - http://www.headway.ie/ - www.Headway.ie Sponsorship cards have been given to each player and a fund-raising target of €1000 has been set.

Looks like TV coverage is now off. Scotland have changed their Press Conference time and it now clashes with the game. Trying to arrange that they can get to the Gasworks. |

Headway were delighted with all your efforts and enjoyed the chats with some of you yesterday in the Gasworks. Thanks to Lurleen Lumpkin the bucket collection raised €49 despite the Gasworks manager blowing a fuse. The Wales fans raffle raised a good amount and Neil will use the online donation site to pass on the funds.

Good stuff Soccerc, thanks to yiz for donating the raffle lads, the Manager hoped to do it over their PA system but it wasn't working, so one of the Headway people drew out a ticket, it was sold by the Welsh Gaffer so I can't say who won it, but thanks for yizzer support as soccerc said.
The money left over from the plaque/plague I donated online earlier. ------------- We'll never die, we'll never die, we'll keep the Green Flag flying high......Shamrock Rovers will never die, we'll keep the Green Flag Flying high. 19 Leagues and 25 Cups..... |

Score wrong on the headway page soccerc! Meanwhile, the fans also had their moment of glory: the Republic of Ireland Fans were represented by a squad of 18 chosen after a trial game in late January organised and promoted by members of the "You Boys in Green" fans website: http://ybig.ie/ - www.ybig.ie . The Rep of Ireland beat the Wales Fans, 4 - 1! So, well done to everyone who played and supported.-------------

Eh, lads, the other teams are doing some serious donating here!
From Facebook:
http://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=100000654056079 - Neil Dymock
For the May games, between Wales and Scotland and Scotland and the Republic, Scotland and Wales will be donating £500 a piece to the Welsh Children's Hospice, Ty Hafen, while also making a donation of £1000 a piece to a Republic of Ireland Children's Charity, yet to be confirmed. This will bring the charitable donations from the tournament to over £5000.

http://www.facebook.com/# - http://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=100000654056079 - Neil Dymock
Scotland and Northern Ireland also donated £500 a piece to the Northern Ireland Charity Shine A Light, who provide holidays for children suffering from cancer and a presentation was made before the fans game on Wednesday.
A special thanks to all the Republic of Ireland and Wales, players, management and fans and the five Scottish spies who helped raise 165€ on Tuesday for the Republic of Ireland nominated charity for this week, Headway. I will be transferring the money over the weekend. ------------- They finally did it man... They killed my f**kin' car... |

What about making a small video to be played at the stadium for the home games. We could do like an irish sing song or something with the volunteers of headway. It would also help the fans learn the words to songs. I know celtic fans did it for a charity also with their version of 'Just can't get enough'. - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ljBbMJhEyPc - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ljBbMJhEyPc Could we do something similar.
