What is there to say about a sports ground? - it has no activities of its own - it really depends…read moreon people coming to it to create the games and atmosphere and feelings that it becomes known for... is that not the case? Well, to a degree yes but there is also the huge work put in by the grounds staff, the club-house staff and the admin staff and together in Railway they make a hell of a team. There are several boles grounds (erm, pitches, courts um,,, whatever they are called) a rugby pitch, a cricket pitch and two astroturf pitches and saints be praised a bar.... somewhere to go to quench the well deserved thirst you have worked up while getting from the car to the club house! However a word of warning - and really, ignore this at your peril - or rather your cars peril, the driveway / lane to the grounds from Park Lane is insanely narrow, do not attempt it in the car - I have the scratches to prove it all along the rear left side of my car. The lane is strewn with the remains of countless ruined paintjobs - don't say I didn't warn ya!

BAM! 5 STARS!! I've…read morebeen a swimmer on and off since I was about 5 years old (ON for most of my teenage years, OFF when I discovered beer and women, ON again when I took up triathlon to set myself a new challenge), so I have a good idea what makes a good swimming pool, and a fair idea what makes a good gym. Let's start at the start - this is a private members gym; you can't walk in off the street unless you're signed in by a member. You can sign up for some classes by themselves (spin, pilates, etc) as a non-member, but most of the people here are fully paying members. That being said, the membership packages are very flexible - it's basically €230 for an individual for a year of a basic membership, plus either pay-as-you-go, or whatever package you want to put on top for gym/swim/etc. I've been a member since February and I could not be more impressed to be honest. The place is always spotless, the staff are always friendly, the other patrons are always grand (no steroid junkies here!), and the classes are very good; particularly the spin classes which come as part of your full membership. Every facility you could want is here as well: gym, pool, football pitches, tennis and badminton courts, sauna, leisure suite... you name it, it's there! Now onto the pool itself. It's a standard 25 meter pool with a small viewing gallery. The 'adult swim' sessions are the best to go to if you want to go for a proper swim - three lanes will be marked out and most people stick to the slow, medium & fast lanes (it's a pet peeve of mine when they don't!). All in all, a great job in a handy location, and you can customise your own package or pay-as-you-go after the initial membership fee. Only negative is that you have to pay up-front rather than by Direct Debit, but it's not enough of a grievance to deter me from awarding the big 5!

Ah Sportsco is great! I really love it! What I enjoy the most are the classes, they have a good…read morevariety of classes like TRX, zumba, yoga, pilates, spinning, basket, volleyball, swimming, and more... If you are not a member you can pay €10 per class or gym. I found the membership expensive, and didn't like that they don't have student rates. but well... The staff are very helpful and super friendly. They help you and are interested in that you are doing things right and that is good for you. I consider the space very very clean, spacious, comfortable and modern.

Wanderers FC was founded in 1870 which means it is one of the oldest Rugby clubs in Dublin. They…read morecurrently compete in Division 3 of the AIL, but like most other clubs they have more than one team including an under-20s team. I've seen a few of their matches, and because it's Rugby they're great fun to watch and support is always welcome. Even though at this time of year it's pretty darn cold when you're standing around for close to 2 hours watching the lads in their shorts, so you might want to wear a lot of layers. The club is hard to miss, being right at Merrion Road, and it's also easy to get to by bus or DART. The clubhouse is warm and welcoming and the club organises a few events a year as well. The grounds were also used by the Australian National team for training when they were here for the Autumn Internationals, and the club also opens up their parking lot during the day for people working in the area or visiting the RDS.

All around us were pretty serious tennis players who I probably impressed with my funny way of swinging the racket. I stopped counting the lost balls. The changing room was smelly. But hey - it's sport. Men are sweating. What do you expect?

It has fantastic new changing rooms and showers. The club offers a great mix of competitive tennis and social tennis. It also caters for all levels. I myself was a beginner in 2006 and thanks to great coaching I now love playing league. The club is genuinely very friendly and it is very easy to meet people due to the many tennis events and coaching that take place weekly. I have been a member of a few other tennis clubs over the year due to house moves but this is the friendliest club that I have been a member of. Drop in a on Saturday morning at 10.30am and have a hit and meet some players. Then stay for tea/coffee/biscuits and a chat afterwards. The club also runs regular 30 euro per month trial offers. The club has 11 outdoor synthetic courts that are very well maintained.

The staff was always friendly, helpful and courteous Not the cheapest out there but certainly well worth the price. Remember it's all about value and this is the best gym I have ever worked out in.
