I played rugby there (for one of Trinity's lowlier teams) against a side called Carlisle back in the 1970s. Had to play on a Sunday because, well, you know.....
So long ago that I can't remember exactly where it was. Sorry :)

The entrance gates were almost directly opposite the junction of Whitehall Road and Kimmage Road West.

I hung out there for years as a kid playing football. Class facility. It's a Gym now since 1998. Here's the entrance:
