Players from across our network have been proudly representing The Irish 6-a-side football team which has been competing in the Leisure Leagues powered 6 EuroCup in Moldova this week.

Despite their valiant efforts, the team lost both games. They lost 2-1 to Georgia, with a Sam Watkin goal, and by the odd goal in five to Cyprus, with goals from Lee and Paketuras.

The team (pictured) has been representing the Waterford 6-a-side, Kilkenny 6 a side league, both of which are run by Leisure Leagues Ireland, as well as leagues in Cork, which is ran through our thriving Franchise scheme. These leagues are part of the world’s largest provider of 5 and 6-a-side football, Leisure Leagues. Carita Morris, Area Manager for Leisure Leagues Ireland, praised the Irish team, saying, “It’s only with Leisure Leagues that you can go from your local 6-a-side league to the world stage. Credit to the team, who I am sure have had an unforgettable few days.
