Cork City FC Amputee player and Ireland International David Saunders says the sport isn't a "coffee morning for amputees".
Gaelic football is in his background, as his father played for Kerry. The primary school teacher represented his county in athletics at a very young age and played football with his parish club Rathmore. The Irish Amputee Football Association was set up in April 2011 and last year a national amputee football league was launched with Cork City FC the inaugural winners.
Among those who recently took up the game is Midleton man Fergal Duffy, who was born without a left hand.The soccer goalie says he took to the game like a duck to water and last year found himself playing at the Amputee Football World Cup in Mexico for Ireland.
