    I'm looking for local outdoor sports clubs/groups in the area?

    I'm interested in rugby/soccer, but open to others.
    Need to get the fitness levels up again, so something like tag rugby or 5-a-side soccer would be ideal.

    I presume there is still a swimming club operating from the pool.

    There's also 5 a side football in the community centre beside the pool.

    There are a couple of horsey places out past Drughill way.

    Hi. If you are interested in trying some real outdoor sports 'True Fitness' who are based in Portarlington do mountain biking, kayaking, canoeing, mountain/hill walking and navigation. They work with individuals and groups. The True Fitness web site is under construction at the moment but you can contact Diane on 087 2388748. I hope this helps and that you find exactly what you are looking for.
