It's been a busy two weeks here at The Gathering Dublin. We had a few days of matches with the CFAI Gathering tournament at Peamount United Football Club in Greenouge, Dublin. At these matches players from universities from Wales and Ireland competed in two days of matches, fostering an international community through the sport of soccer.

Everyone put in their best effort, with Ireland the victor on the first day, while the Welsh team turning triumphant on the second.

Things are staying busy with The Gathering Dublin lately. We've had a number of tournaments; everything from kickboxing to Irish dancing, from poker to Norwegian poker (basically poker but played with a lot more people from Norway).

It’s starting to get cold in South Dublin so to prepare for the encroaching frost I’ve bought two bags of coal and started watching YouTube videos on how to twist sheets of newspapers into kindling. Sure, there are still days when the sun breaks through the clouds but if there’s one thing that Game Of Thrones has taught us, it’s that Winter Is Coming.
