Basketball - Swords

josvill2010

Hi Guys,
I have just moved to Swords and I am looking for a sport hall where I can play basketball. Nothing too serious, enough to keep me fit. I have enquired with Swordsbasketball.net. but they have another month to go in the league. Any other club, bunch of people that play together for fun?

Regards,
jose

I don't know of any off the top of my head, but if you do find somewhere I'd be happy to come along too, I'm not too far from Swords and god knows I need the exercise.

josvill2010

I heard about a place called the St. Finian's Community College where you can play basketball. I will enquiry with them this week and I will let you know.

Another possibility is as I said with Swords net but they train in Asdaa. Have you heard about them?

Rgds,
jose

I have checked and I have been told that they dont longer play in Finians but in Asdaa

BlondePrincess

Yeah I'd love to find a club too...I used to play in school, but am not fit enough to join a serious league team! I live in Swords too!

This would be handy for me if ya find somewhere. I'm in Balbriggan.

New lead Donabate (DAPSA), or Lusk have basketball court. I will give them a call later on

Hey folks, I live in Ratoath and would appreciate if you keep me posted if you find a court to play in and around Swords. Haven't played for 10+ years but have the itch again and would love to join in - if you'll have me!

Donabate has a small group of friends playing basketball once a week. The lady in Donabate was very friendly and will pass on my phone contact details to that group. I will keep you posted.

Hi all I would be interested too in playing again. Been a few years since I have played but would love to get involved again

Living in Finglas and interested in any games on the northside

acc grinds

Think i counted 7 people interested in playing in swords.
I'd love to start playing again , I live in swords , why dont we organise something, when would suit everybody.
I dont mind checking out places to play , must be schools that rent out halls or maybe even the alsaa club. let me know if you want to try start this in swords.

ButtersSuki

Still game!

SoundWave

id be interested too... living in swords, would be good to have something local after the season finishes..

Lafortezza

Add me to the interest list for a game in Swords, I'd help but I don't know of any schools/gyms/sports halls that would have a court to rent to the public.

acc grinds

Seems to be enough interest , Ill ask around for an available court and get a price and times available and post my findings back here.

Hopefully we can find something and get a regular game going.

BlondePrincess

I'm definitely interested in joining a new team. Has anyone looked into anywhere suitable? I'd say Alsaa would be a good option, though there are a good few schools around Swords, that would suit!

Judomad

I'll be sorting out a regular friday night game at 7pm in DCU from the 30th April.......how many are intrested in DCU??? ill post a thread for this itself but just mentioning it here first

BlondePrincess

will it just be for training, or will it be for a league?

Just a casual game I think, we don't really run any drills or practice, just pick teams and play. I could possibly see some kind of team forming in one of the social leagues around dublin in the future, but for now we just run around a bit

ButtersSuki

Hello,

Yeah, DCU would suit! Keep me posted!

Judomad

As laf said we just turn up, pick teams then play so at the min theres no league, just people who havent played in a while getting back into the game and getting fit......some have been back longer than other(others bein me)....but its a good laugh and again its Basketball so ya cant go wrong!!!

BlackWizard

This sounds good to me. I posted in the DCU thread

Dawoud

Hmm DCU seems like kinda ride for me, especially friday evening with the Bus

is nothing going on in swords at all anymore ??

_DMac_

Has this died a death or is there any games being played in swords area?? Lookin to play a bit as well for fun and fitness more than anything else. Havent played since school either.

ladybball

Im interested in playing too. Was just wondering if theres any in the Swords area?

acc grinds

I asked about renting the court in rivervalley community centre. They have no rings at the moment but they said they would get some if a group was interested.
If you're interested in playing in swords let me know and we can get this started.

Felexicon

I'll play if there are a few interested

ButtersSuki

Yeah, count me in - when I figure out where River Valley is of course

As long as it's general Swords area I'm in.

josvill2010

I would love to play too

Lafortezza

General Swords area is good for me too.

acc grinds

Good response so far. They have a Monday evening slot available from 8 to 9.
How would that suit?

A fella called fish

I'm out near phoenix park but happy to drive to swords on a monday night if this goes ahead! Let me know.

ladybball

Yep im still game. Def still up for it

Felexicon

Yeah Monday is cool with me

Lafortezza

Swords on a Monday works for me.

ButtersSuki

Most (though not all) Mondays would work for me.

ladybball

Yep a Monday is good for me

ladybball

Does anybody know if this is going ahead tonight?

acc grinds

Its provisionally booked starting Monday 30th July from 8pm to 9pm.
They have to get new rings.

A fella called fish

Great, Im away until mid august but would love to get involved. Let us all know if its going ahead. Are there any other venues closeby that already have rings?

Felexicon

Did you get to have a look at the court. Do they have decent back boards and court markings?
It doesn't really matter to me, would just be nice to know

acc grinds

Wooden floors , wooden backboards , Im not sure id know if they were decent or not.

Its definitely booked for Monday 30th July from 8 to 9pm.

If anyone wants any further information , pm me and i wil forward my number.

SoundWave
