Director - Paul Mercier Starring: Brendan Gleeson, David Wilmot, Eamonn Owens, Eanna MacLiam.

Playing on a wind swept rainy pitch with a hangover was never easy for the players of amateur Sunday league football club Emmet Rovers - especially when they’re bottom of the league. With no manager, no ambition and, soon, no ground if the developers have their way, it’s all a little too much for the ever-suffering captain Bubbles (Wilmot) who is on the verge of hanging up his boots. But just as the team is about to collapse into another dressing room fight, in walks larger-than-life Walter Keegan (Gleeson) who proposes to take over the team. "Studs" is a feel-good action comedy that follows the cup-run of an amateur football team and the magical effects of the mysterious new manager. And with director Paul Mercier in attendance it’s bound to be a winner of a screening. Comedy Ireland 90mins
