Although they've expanded in a big way across our little Island, this Dublin city centre store still is sill the best of the lot. From Leitrim GAA Jerseys to Connaught sweatshirts and the latest football strips from the UK and beyond. They do more then the above though, with Elverys stocking everything from Archery equipment to darts as well equipment for lesser played sports, in Ireland anyway, such as cricket and squash. Worth a look if your looking for that hard to find county jersey or if you take up baseball.

This place does a roaring trade in rugby gear for three reasons: Firstly it's the official Leinster…read moreRugby kit place thing-a-ma-bob; secondly, it's at the epicentre of a large number of big rugby schools, not least of all the rugby academy they pretend is a school, Blackrock College; and thirdly this is where lots of south side mom's* go shopping. I bought an Irish rugby jersey here for our disappointing last World Cup. I had to buy it in kids, age 10. How embarrassing is that?! Now, I'm twenty-three, five foot nine (and a half, mind you,) and I weight nearly seventy kilos. I demand that Canterbury present to me a ten year old that size. Now. See, they can't! Still, it's a good gag, I've gotta give it to them there. They really had me on that one. I suppose it's in the ethos of the sport too, so fair play, fair play. The staff here are friendly, it's Irish owned and they know there stuff in particular when it comes to rugby stuff. Four stars. *and Dad's but it doesn't sound as good that way :)

Not one of the best sports shops around. It also happens to be the main official Leinster rugby…read morestore, but that's so inconsequential, I'm going to leave that aside and concentrate on the non-Leinster-related-paraphernalia side of things. Not that there's much, it's a fairly small space. And they've taken up outside with Jansport bags (very nice for backpacks or what have you, but in space this small, you'd think they'd want to minimise superfluity, not expand it...) They've got the basics I admit, gumshields, rugby shirts, shin pads and the like. Not the best range of footwear, which, unless you do something like martial arts or swimming is kind of a big deal) and their swimwear isn't the broadest choice either, which is odd considering that one of the biggest clubs in Ireland is based around 10 minutes away so you'd think that could be a bit of a draw. My advice? Go to Lifestyle in Dún Laoghaire.

In a previous life I used to a soccer player and coach, seriously. I took it very seriously too, I…read moresaved a long time to get my first Diego Maradona boots and I know that a part of Maradona transcended into my feet. So this place took me down memory lane, I still get excited by football/soccer shops. I love the smell and the different coloured strips. This place has everything you need as a football fan or player. Extensive selection of jerseys, boots, balls etc. Also very reasonable prices compared to the bigger branded stores. When I was there they were having a 50% sale off a lot of products.

I used to be a big basketball player. I just couldn't get enough of the sport, I would play for…read more5-6 hours a day, and then go back to the gym at night to do some shooting practice. There was just one little thing that I didn't like ... conditioning. Now don't get me wrong I didn't have any problem running, etc while playing basketball, it's these little things that they make you do at the end of practice called suicides. I think the name says enough in itself. It's a dreadful line drill. Anyways that has always cemented in my head that running is punishment. So last year I foolishly took on the task of trying to run the Flora Women's mini-marathon, ok I was only planning on running like 2 miles and walking the rest. Since moving to Ireland the only running shoes I had were shipped over to me by my mom because I just found it so difficult to find a shop with a good selection of women's shoes that weren't outlandishly priced. A runner friend of mine recommended stopping into Mick Dowling's. I was amazed at the selection and how helpful the staff were. They even set me up with some other gear that I would need to make sure my training went off well. Now unfortunately for my training, the pub was right near the gym, and instead of encouraging our training my friend's boyfriend encouraged our drinking. Oh well, at least I have the gear the next time I decided to take up running.

Being a little tight fisted when it comes to gym memberships (I know I'll only go and feel terrible…read morewatching the fit people do stuff without breaking a sweat while I die of breathing difficulty after 20 minutes on a treadmill! so why pay a premium to be depressed!) I thought I'll pick up some stuff for at home to get in shape instead of watching t.v. And thats exactly what I did, I picked up the stuff! Although it doesn't scream SPORTS, COOL, FITNESS, the shop is basically where the people who actually know what they're doing work. It's the equivalent of the gym in Rocky 3 that Apollo brings Rocky to before he fights Clubber Lang. Whereas the previous flashy training areas in the movie would be your Champion Sports! No matter what the sporting ambition is the staff can help you, whether it's how big the studs on your football boots or cross country running shoes should be to what protein shakes/drinks will give you the results you want. I went for the punchbag and gloves combo, reasonably priced and easier to ignore than a treadmill in the corner of a room it was the perfect choice for me! Great shop with a shockingly large selection that I still go back to when I need sports stuff (however rarely that is).

So good to actually have a proper Nike store in the area! Big fan of all kinds of Nike sports gear…read morebut it's often the price that puts me off, here however, they've solved the problem. A pair of runners that's worth 107 euro in most other sports shops, here you can get them for roughly around 55. Now keep in mind that not everything here will be half price but it most certainly will be cheaper. Definitely worth a look. Would have been nice to actually get it inside the shopping center but the West End spot suits it well. It's a very nicely laid out space with plenty of room. This is great due to the variety of stock they have on hand. Any major sport you think of, Nike will have something for it. Staff are friendly too, never had any issues. They seem talkative, attentive and ready to help.

The store layout and design reflects the nike brand excellently. As it is a factory outlet you really do have to drop in by chance on the right day to get the best bargin. For example I got a pair of Pegasus 31's for only €33 one day ! In my size too! All because there was a sign over the rack that said "Take an additional 20% off the lowest ticketed price. I also love the face that changing rooms have a big picture of the great Steve Prefontaine on the wall-thats what brings me back!

You only notice service in a shop when it is very bad or very good, it is usually taken for granted if it is anything else... which is probably fair enough. Staff are not there to be your best friend, they are there to do a job. But there are times when service is noteworthy for all the right reasons, in this case, EXCEPTIONAL, I think it only fair to shout it from the roof tops. So, that's what I'm doing. I didn't catch his name but the guy who served us was nothing less than exceptional - he was engaging, professional, fast and managed to juggle 3 customers at the same time (trying on runners etc...) without making anyone feel like they were getting anything less than 100% of his attention. Amazing the sort of difference that sort of thing will make to your day!
