Sounds interesting. Can't do any harm for players' technique. It's one tough game.

Does the Luas or any buses go near the basketball arena? The webite for the arena seems to be dead.

best bet is a 77a, if you get off at the Penny Black pub in Tymon North you're right across the road from the Basketball Arena.

Make sure its the 77a as the 77 does not go past the NBA. Its an awkward enough place to get to.

Not really, coming from town just get the 49 to firhouse/knocklyon and its only a short walk from there...

same with ITB, and you don't want to get lost in Corduff!

I made a complete balls of that journey. I took the 77 by accident. Ended up in Crumlin and just got the bus home. A nice little pointless roundtrip. To be honest I wasn't even sure which direction to get the 77A when I got to Tallaght. Would it be safer to just get the 77A from Crumlin if I bother again next week?

From Crumlin get the 77a to Tallaght, it turns off at Tymon park (where as 77 continues on). Once you get the right bus, its fine...

Exactly. The routes are identical until you get to Tymon anyway.

Last time I checked neither Dundalk or Monaghan were in Dublin!

I hear we trounced Dundalk in this and they had one of their first team on it!

4 Dublin teams, 4 non Dublin teams. Seems OK to me.

If this season is a success chances are it'll be rolled out to the rest of the country. With regional group winners playing off etc

If anybody has results for the first days "trials" post them up

>Dublin and the Dublin Burbs. Same thing.

In fairness I dont think anyone considers Monaghan to be a Dublin suburb. But maybe you Cork fellas think every county except Cork is now considered to be a Dublin suburb.
