Badminton in Kilcock or Clane

Penny21 · 04-02-2010, 10:46

Hello all,
Does anyone know if there's a Badminton Club in Kilcock?
I really want to get back into playing and would love to join somewhere local. I don't know many people in the area so I think it'd be a good way to meet people aswell as getting back to enjoying the sport.
If there are any other clubs nearby and anyone has any info on them that'd be great too.
Thanks :-)

There are two badminton clubs in Kilcock as far as I know. One plays in the GAA club and the other in what I can only describe as an old converted church with a court.

Not sure if there is still one in Clane.

Leinster Badminton should have all the clubs in the province listed on their website.

Good luck!

Thanks a million Tristram, I will definitely try them.
The GAA Club would be very handy as I live right next door :-)

Will you let us know what you find out.
I'm in kilcock as well, but i do shift work so it's hard to find out about these things.
I used to play for my school back in the day and wouldn't mind getting into it again.

Hi Megapixel,
Thanks to Tristram, I got in touch with Kilcock GAA club who tell me that the Badminton Club meets every Monday & Thursday Nights 9pm-11pm.
They said that they're always looking for new members and they'd help me work on my rusty badminton skills. They also suggested I head over before any of the sessions and have a chat with the members about joining.
I'm thrilled that there's a local club as I live right next door, I'm just raging I didn't know about it sooner.
They don't seem to advertise themselves.
Hope this helps :-) oh and thanks to Tristram for the info.

Hi Penny,
