Cathy will also be selling her legendary Mexicanas throughout the day. - May Day is about playing a football tournament in an environment that is free from aggression, oppression, and the toxicity that football can often bring. Although it’s about football, it’s more importantly about bringing together like-minded teams with similar values to us and enjoying a footballing space together. We would like to remind all players that that we expect people to adhere to Republica’s Safer Spaces policy throughout the day and being inclusive and supportive of all players on the pitch. There will be prizes for each team and the 1st place trophy will probably be the shittest so get ready to win ‘Best Dressed’, ‘Most Spirited’ or ‘Best Craic’ to name a few. Any questions please message Alice on 07876507206. Reminder! Please let me know by Wednesday 12/04/23 to confirm your team’s attendance
