    It can be a challenge to get number one son off the sofa at the weekends as he 'needs to recover…read morefrom a busy week' (he's 10 - how busy can he be??). But after the excitement of the World Cup, he's now hooked on football and so the opening of this new club for under 14's was enough to shift him from his Sponge Bob stupor. A result before we even got there. There are sessions of mini soccer across the weekend and we went to the Saturday morning one. There were plenty of Beckham wannabes there but it was very well structured and organised. There was about 30 minutes of skills practice and then they played a match which number one son really enjoyed. The coach was approachable and friendly and paid attention to safety too - the boys cannot play unless they have shin guards. The sessions are held on the new all weather pitches at Stormont so it's the perfect environment for the footballers of the future. The cost is a very reasonable £2 a session so mini soccer ticks all the boxes for me and for number one son as well. A rare and very welcome thing!

    The 3G 5 and 7 aside pitches are ok at best, due to the plastic netting making sure you can't play…read morea chipped through ball. The worst thing about playball is that they simply just don't accommodate to the customer, loyalty simply means nothing to them, I don't think they have ever heard of the word refund ethier , to put it simply don't get ripped off go elsewhere for football pitches as there are plenty in the area that are 10 times better and more accommodating!.

    SS Moore is as much part of the Belfast landscape as The City Hall itself. For as long as I can…read moreremember it's been there. This is no accident or fluke, you need to be on top of your game to hang on to such a prized retail location and these guys have been. SS Moore specialize in real quality sports equipment and wear. This is the first place I visit when I need a new pair of football boots because I know the staff are knowledgeable and will provide a genuine insight in to your purchase. This was the case yesterday, I went in with the aim of getting a pair of football boots with thicker leather and while I was caressing (that makes it sound creepy) the various boots on display a helpful member of staff approached me and asked what I was looking for (or maybe it was 'what are you doing!?'). When I told him my plight he brought me out a whole host of boots that had thicker leather, unfortunately none of them were in my size! That's my only tiny niggle with SS Moore, they don't have a huge stock and tend to sell out quickly. If you're looking for regional sports kits like Linfield, The Ulster Rugby Team or the Belfast Giants Ice Hockey Jersey this is one of the few places, excluding the official shops, that you can get them. There aren't many better sports shops around in my opinion - if you're looking for something specific or niche make SS Moore's your first stop.

    SS Moore is an Athletics Store right across the road from Belfast's City Hall. So it has a prime…read morelocation within the city. Unlike most other sports stores, which just deal in replica football shirts and clothes that make you look suspicious on a street corner. SS Moore sales sports equipment for a wide range of sports, both mainstream and the smaller sports. Their staff have a great knowledge of the equipment they sell and will always help you make the right choice. My experience of this shop and their great staff was when I was looking for a new football kit for the Sunday league team I play for. SS Moore have a wide range of catalogues to look through and they are always willing to recommend which offer they think will best suit you and they don't charge extra for having the kits delivered to their shop! They were a great help and I'll be going here more often for anything remotely sporty!

Boasting a UEFA standard 3G pitch, the facilities seem to be world class and offer all who play on it the chance to experience what it's like to laying on professional conditions. That's possibly the best part. The fact that me, a terrible football player, can play at a top notch ground and for not too much cash either. I have been able to play here thanks to the guys at Tekkers, in their 7 a side Sunday league, although I do believe that private hire can be arranged and for decent money. So should you be in the area and think you could bend it like Beckham (or in my case hoof it like Heskey) you should definitely get the lads or lasses together and give it a try. If you're really popular there is a stand for supporters, after all what's a screamer of a goal if there's no crowd to celebrate in front of?

    Our football training has just been moved to this facility and after our first session tonight I…read morehave to say it was top class. Despite it being a typical wet and windy October evening playing in an actual stadium with proper lighting and a fantastic 3g surface was an absolute pleasure. I am known in some circles as the Northern Irish Riquelme so my touch is incredible already but even lesser players will see their skills improve exponentially playing regularly on a pitch like this! It was also great to see so many folk involved in some type of tournament that was going on , on the other half of the pitch. If you like football and are in the North Down area you really should take any opportunity you can to play here!
