Dublin GAA Clubs to Join

Bluezar

Hi,

I have been living in Dublin for over a year (currently living and working in city center near camden street). I'm 24 and having not lifted a hurley in about 4 years, the final last Sunday has reinvigorated my interest and I am interested in getting back playing next year. Played as a child right up to under 21 but then emigrating abroad for a while for work stopped me playing.

I would appreciate if anyone could recommend a decent club that may play Junior hurling and would be commutable by public transport from the city center. Any sort of standard would do as its more about me getting back playing next year. Even though the new season is obviously a good way, I would like to scout out some potential clubs now and start getting fit myself over the winter months.

Any advice appreciated.

Cheers,
Bluezar

You are really not that far from Good Council. Great hurling tradition in the club.

Have they still got the goalie who had refereed us the week before?? Great club in fairness.

I am also new to Dublin. I'm living in the churchtown/dundrum area. I have been on and off hurling at a good level for the last 3 years. I would prefer to hurl either Inter/Senior. Could anyone recommend a club? I'm hearing different reviews.

I wouldn't be 100% up on the hurling scene, but you'd have Naomh Olaf, Ballinteer and Ballyboden in your general area. If you're looking specifically to hurl at a top level - I'd be inclined to go towards the Ballyboden route
