A game of four halves 2

Mark Devenport | 13:03 UK time, Friday, 27 July 2007

Earlier this month I blogged about an Assembly football team playing in London versus sides from Westminster, Cardiff and Edinburgh. The tournament is due to take place on Saturday 4th August. I noted that no Sinn Fein MLAs were due to take part and wondered whether they had an alternative fixture in Dublin.

But today a flyer dropped into my e-mail box for another tournament on exactly the same day. The Anti-racism World Cup at Colin Valley Playing Pitches in Poleglass on the outskirts of West Belfast boasts sides from Cuba, the Congo, the Basque country, Palestine, Italy, England, Catalonia, Kurdistan and Germany. The organisers promise a "spectacular competition". Whether any SF MLAs will be demonstrating their nifty ball skills I simply don't know.
