Alternate Thursdays, 17:00 - 19:00
Once every two weeks we go into Mountjoy Prison and play the inmates at six-a-side soccer - except there is so much more to it than that! Represent your college in one of the most decrepit prisons in Europe. You’ll have to walk through the prison to get to the imposing high-walled tarmac yard where the IRA landed a helicopter in the 1970s.
Watched by up to 50 inmates, we doubt you’ll ever have been involved in a more atmospheric game of football! From the lopsided pitch, to the goal being bigger at one end, and the sneaky suspicion they have seven players on the pitch, you might feel like complaining - then you’ll remember where you are! Prison football is perhaps the most unusual activity offered by VDP, and it is ideal for the busy student. You'll make some great friends and bond with some people you wouldn’t ordinarily meet.
