Running and Soccer in Athlone

jimmurt

Hi,

Is there a running/harriers club in Athlone and if not, where is the nearest Club and when do they train?

Also, I heard companies like Ericsson have their own Soccer teams. Do they play in a week-night astro turf league or a Sunday 11 a side league.

I want to join a local team that plays during the week.

Thanks.

Pretty sure theres a Tri-Athlon & running club in Athlone, I think they train in AIT but not sure of details. Possible details on athlone.ie or if you are around town call into the TriZone shop on Pearse Street and they might have more info.

Ericsson have an 11-a-side team and play in the Combined Counties Football League (CCFL) Sunday Division 3 (ccfl.ie). All the football teams local to the town itself play in the CCFL so games would be on Sunday 11am or 2.30pm.

A little further out, Moore United play in the Roscommon & District League but I think their games are Friday evening & Sunday morning.

All would train midweek though.

Local and (local-ish) clubs
CCFL: Ballinahown, Clonbonny FC, Clonown FC, Ericsson, Gentex, St Peters, Monksland Utd, Willow Park.
RDFL: Moore Utd, Skyvally Rovers.

Dont think there is any specific astro league running at the minute but if you call into the Sports Centre they might now of ones planned.

With fading daylight a lot of clubs will probably be moving midweek training to astro soon enough

Jimmurt,
The Fit4Life running programme has just started in AIT. They are probably still taking applications. They have a few different levels.
Check it out here http://www.ait.ie/fit4life/
It's open to all, not just students.

Thanks for the info lads, I'll check it out.

Thanks for the info.

I don't think the TriA Club is for me as I'm only into running and not cycling/swimming.

I might give the fitforlife a go. Can you test it out and see if you like it before committing? I don't want to pay the €170 fee and only go for 3 or 4 weeks

That website is a great idea for getting teams together
Anyone interested in setting up a league, I know the above post is probably spam but I have signed up to the website and it is legit.

We play since years but last weeks is very hard to collect full team so I tray this way. I did two new games on myplayerz website. Very welcome to join.
