I ndiaidh uaireanta an chloig ag cleachtadh i halla铆 谩iti煤la, ag pl茅 strait茅is铆 agus ag p茅inte谩il mionsamplacha, t谩 an l谩 m贸r tagtha ar deireadh.

Ag an fhoireann seo, n铆 bhaineann s茅 leis an bhua, ach leis an chairdeas, leis an 茅al煤chas agus le hathbheochan caitheamh aimsire a bh铆 acu agus iad 贸g.

These local men play as a hobby and have to face rivals who play the game professionally in other countries. For this team, it isn鈥檛 about winning, it鈥檚 about friendship, an escape and a revival of their childhood hobby.
