Salthill Devon’s popular five-a-side festival will celebrate its 35th anniversary this year with a new over-35 category.
Launched this week, the tournament will once again be sponsored by Carlsberg and will be held over the June Bank Holiday weekend (June 4/5 ) in Salthill Park.
For the last 35 years Salthill Devon, in association with Carlsberg, has invited five-a-side teams from all over the world to enter the competition, which boasts four categories, including u-11, u-13, and Open. This year, however, it has launched a new over 35-category to add more diversity to the event, and the first to sign up was a team that won the tournament 20 years ago - The Untouchables, which featured some of Galway United’s FAI Cup winning side of 1991, Derek Rogers, Stephen Lally and Jimmy Nolan. They will be joined by another United legend Ollie Neary, Galway Bay FM head of sport Ollie Turner and soccer correspondent Mike Rafferty.
