Text message, Whats App group sometimes even a mobile phone call.  The modern way to sort out a team for the weekend. In recent past i.e pre Facebook, teams were displayed on the noticeboard in the clubhouse and yes, there still is one in Clontarf. However, while sorting through some archives, a document was found which reveals how teams 100 years ago were organised.  A pre typed post card in which the relevant details were added was the method used in 1915.  Not only that, but the player had to confirm his availability "by return of post" to the Club Secretary.

It can be taken for granted that a return to these days is unlikely.
