Living in Dublin and want to hurl in 2013?

Hi all,

Unfortunately Réalt Dearg were recently beaten in the county semi final of the Junior D championship halting our progress up the ranks. However we still remain in contention for the league final and with it promotion to AHL6 for next year.

Essentially Réalt Dearg is a club set up by players, for players. That sounds cliché but we really are run by the players. We currently field two adult Junior teams in League, Cup and Championship. A problem we face in the future is that as the players age and retire we may run out of players as our plans for underage teams are some way down the road yet. We're not here to poach anyones players, we offer a route into hurling for people who haven't hurled for a while due to work, travel etc or for people who can no longer afford to be going home to play while working in Dublin.

Our aim is to keep the club progressing up the divisions, right up to senior long term. To do this we will need an underage set up and this is something we are working on. However for now we to get more adult players involved. If you think you would enjoy junior hurling in Dublin or are just looking to try out hurling next Spring then please contact us and we'll stay in touch over the winter to let you know when we start back.

I appreciate this is very early to advertise for next season but even if you haven't hurled since U-16 you'd need a transfer form so we'd like to sort them out over the winter months so you're ready to go for the cup competitions in February. To contact us please email realtdearg.hurlingclub@gmail.com or visit www.realtdearg.ie and text/call one of the committee. Thanks for your support.

You're really doing the rounds today!!

I've always sent lads to play with Civil Service Hurling Club.
One of the oldest hurling clubs in the city, decent bunch of lads, they have their own clubhouse and pitches and its a handy enough place to get to from most parts of Dublin.

They also have two teams to meet most standards

Oh yeah I remember you saying you used to hurl with them. We've played them a few times now, sound bunch of lads in fairness. If I hear of anyone living in that neck of the woods I send them to their website. For anyone out in Terenure area though it's easier to train in Bushy Park. In terms of doing the rounds I'll admit I was alright, emigrating shortly and want to have the posts set up to hand them over to someone else when I move on! I presume Civil Service are similar to us in that alot of players come and go each year with no underage squad to feed in?
