    Hi there,

    I'm not sure this is the right place to ask, so you can move/delete my post if it shouldn't be here. I saw that there was a thread dedicated to advertise clubs etc but my request is a bit different I guess and the thread doesn't seem to be that active recently. Hope I'm not doing anything wrong here!

    I'm a 26 years old French guy, I have been in Dublin for now a month (arrived there) for a new job.
    I would love to join a Gaelic Football team club (I assume the season start in September like sports seasons in France?). I am still learning the rules, watching videos and stuff like that on YouTube, so I really am a total beginner. I'm still quite fit/athletic, can run relatively fast and have good stamina. I played basket-ball for 10 years as well as a few other sports here and there.
    I live in Dublin 8 near St Patrick's Cathedral, and work near Grand Canal Dock.

    What would be the best club option for me? I just want to find a club that is friendly, and will be ok with my low-level at first. I am of course 100% ok to only do trainings at first and not play on gamedays ! Most importantly I would like to find a club that is not too far from where I live or work.

    Any help/suggestions on that would be really appreciated. Cheers !

    Kevins would be close to St Patricks Cathedral, wouldn't they?

    Or Liffey Gaels?

    OP ask this question on reservoirdubs.com you'll get more dublin club players on there

    Portobello has a team that trains on leinster rd which is between rathmines and harolds cross. they would be one of the closer teams to you. unfortunately the Dublin leagues are coming to an end soon. most teams in the lower divisions only have a couple of games left which means they will finish up in September at some stage. you are more then welcome to come out and train with us until then though if you want. Tuesday nights at 7:30pm
