Red Bull today announced that Cúl 5, the successful, high energy five-a-side football tournament will return this August with leagues taking place in Dublin, Cork and Galway.
Dublin footballer and Red Bull athlete Bernard Brogan developed the project with Red Bull in 2013. Due to its success in Dublin, which included a number of leagues and a weekend blitz event, the competition will now be rolled out to include Cork and Galway.
With a number of unique changes to Gaelic football traditional rules, Red Bull Cúl 5 is a fast paced game where the ball is always in play. It's all about goals as there are no points in this five-a-side tournament. Teams can field five players at any one time; use rolling subs and pick the ball cleanly off the ground.
Registrations for the Cork, Galway and Dublin leagues are now open at www.RedBull.ie/Cul5.
All leagues will start on Wednesday 5th August and run for 7 weeks. Games will be played in St Brigid's GAA Club (Dublin), Salthill Knocknacarra GAA Club (Galway) and Nemo Rangers GAA Club (Cork).
Co-founder and Red Bull athlete Bernard Brogan said: "Red Bull Cúl 5 is a fantastic, high energy competition. Being able to build on the success of the Dublin leagues and launch new ones this year in Galway and Cork is very exciting. We've worked hard to create a challenging format that is perfect for young players who want to get back into playing Gaelic football or who are looking for an alternative mid-week sport."
