Ahh yeah there are a few soccer teams.
Theres a couple of free astroturf pitches and an indoor soccer hall as well, but you normally have to call into the sports office and book them

nothing

You'll get much more info on fairs day.

We also have a drinking team with a rugby problem.So anyone interested in drinking profusely and generally acting like a drunken beowolf character must be willing to put in rigourous training on cold wet nights and then drink yourself into a coma.I should do marketing.

would it matter if you had never played a sport before??? like isn't there archery,fencing and other weird sports in universities...????

OctavarIan

I guess we'll find out on the fairs day yeah? Argh I hope to god that there's 5-a-side or astro leagues.

Yes, ballyarse, they have archery and all that too.

I want to try archery myself. Should make my arms stronger. :cool:
How many people normally join archery every year? Oooooh, I can't wait!!!

Look at the list provided by nookie folks and remember there is nothing to stop you trying to form your own club or society.

Initially you have to approach the Students Union (SU) and they will decide if such a club is a good idea. If they give the go ahead then you will probably have to run the club without any funding from the SU for about one or two years, once you have enough members and can prove the club can be run successfully the SU will apply to the University to allow formal recognition, once you get this the SU will give some capitation (funding) for the club. Over the years many clubs have come and gone but from what I can tell NUIM has never had it better!

Is there anywhere to play squash on campus? I see there's no club but I was wondering if maybe there's squash courts in the gym.

Oh cool, when are we getting hammered so? By seriously, do you mean no more droping us off at the S.U. after training or just no cans on the bus?
