Outdoor Sports in Portarlington

scaldybelt

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.

There's Portarlington GAA club, they train at McCann Park on Canal Road, There's also Arlington AFC who are the soccer club, they train at their grounds on the Lea Rd. and beside them is Portarlington RFC... There is also the tennis club on station road... There is 5-a-side soccer and basketball in the GAA centre some nights aswell (thats beside McCann park if you dont know)

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.
