FLYERS LOSE! ooops, 0-14. Read about our 2008 season ...                                               SLAYERS WIN! a game at the IOST in Belfast...                                               Sorry about these pop-ups by the way. The ads I mean.

Long ago, in the distant past, a great team emerged from the clay of North Dublin. It trained, played and prospered for many years, thriving on the glory in which it covered itself...



...but times, teams and people change. The younger Flyers broke with the old ways, and new figures arose to replace the old heros. Figures who preferred punch to practice, vodka to victory. Then they in turn became the old Flyers.

But the modern Flyers are not artless brutes. They are not without their own methods. The philosopher Sun Tzu once said "In battle, confrontation is done directly, victory is gained by surprise". No one is ever more surprised by a Flyers victory than The Flyers themselves.

So here we have a sociable squad of players with a "Take it or Leave it" attitude to the giddy heights of the top divison. They take a season or two out every so often to slum it and play in lower divisions. They were on such a journey. Now they have come home.

Because they can. Because they choose to. Because they do.
