    I am trying to organise a 5 or 6 a side soccer with some of the lads from work. I have tried LIT, Grove Island, Crescent Comp and Castletroy college and none of them have any open slots

    Anyone know any other places I can try

    Thanks

    Whoa! Amenities! What are they? Since in the North of the city I could only dream of such a thing.

    Sorry I couldn't help. :(

    Cheers I cant think of any others. Even an indoor gym would suit us at the moment. Its pretty poor for a city the size of Limerick to have so few places

    Mary I, Ardscoil Ris and the hall at Moylish should be available for evening bookings.

    I know when I drive from the city out to Punches Cross, that there is a banner up on the left hand side where the old Esso Station used to be, that advertises 5 a side soccer and has a contact number on it for anyone interested.

    I didn't know Ardscoil allowed non students to use the sports hall.

    EDIT: I know for a fact there is indoor soccer out in Croom somewhere.

    That place is amazing, but I'm pretty sure it costs a small fortune to book it.

    If you drive out via Parteen towards Corbally/Westbury, take the right-hand turn at the Maxol petrol station. About 600 metres down the road on the left-hand side you'll see a sign for the facility between two houses. You should be able to see the floodlights if you're out there at night, it's quite near the Corbally United ground.

    Drove by Punches cross again today, the banner for six a side is on the railing of the old Texaco station which is on the right hand side as you drive out of the city. I had originally thought it was on the other side of the road

    I could not jot down the number as the traffic was moving, but the banner must be six foot long and is hard to miss if the OP drives by or knows someone in the area.

    Corbally themselves have a floodlit all-weather pitch which can be rented out
