    Here's to another 50+ years, it's great achievement, especially during the last few years.

    I've always been meaning to visit CrossGuns, but have never had the chance yet. :(

    I have heard a bit about this club, I would like to get back into the game have not played in years, Im average at best highest break around the 30 mark and I was never consistant, But I was thinking of really putting in the effort to improve, Does anyone know the prices for the coaching in crossguns and does anyone have any experience with them are they any good.

    Its the oldest commercial snooker club on record now, Dennis Taylor and Ken Doherty seemed to think it worthy of a mention during their commentary slot the other day.

    Played for the first time here tonight. Great facility, bit small and no free parking nearby. Good tables, helpful staff and a good atmosphere. Didn't realise it was so close to DCU I will be back during the semesters next year.

    Thanks for your comments, there is free parking after 7pm on the phibsboro road which is just around the corner, however during the day parking unfortunalty is disc parking which is the norm these days across the city.
    We used to run a competition for the guys in DCU a few years back, if there's interest there I'd love to run one again!
