THE NATIONAL CAMPUS in Abbottstown recently became the new home of Ireland’s senior international football team, who left Gannon Park in Malahide back in August to train next to the FAI’s headquarters.
There is a lot more to it than that, however.
Back in 2012, the government announced plans to spend €19 million developing a National Sports Campus on the site of the ‘Bertie Bowl’, with four of the major sporting bodies — the FAI, the GAA, the IRFU and he Irish Hockey Association (IHA) — all on board.
This aerial video, recently recorded by a drone, shows how the site is taking shape.
As well as dozens of multi-sport synthetic and grass pitches, there is the National Aquatic Centre, the Irish Institute of Sport Performance Training Centre, stables and the National Horse Sport Area, the National Diving Training Centre and modern pentathlon facilities.
On top of that, the National Indoor Arena, which will include an indoor athletics track, indoor sports centre and a gym, is currently under construction.
Nice knock out but he’s a fu#king idiot
He acts like a tool in the cage, he was on the MMA hour and I was expecting more of the same but he was actually really sound. That said it did predate the Pokemon stunt
Paul, is the Alex Reid that fought last night the same guy that was married to the page three girl Jordan? If it was I can’t believe he’s still fighting.
It is, Gary. His first fight in about four years or so.
Cheers Paul.
has to have been some pent up anger issues there :)
You mean improved on it with an awesome pokemon refrence
Too many macho men around here with no sense of humour it seems
I feel like that this morning
Ouch.
He’s had 6 Bellator fights without a title shot so theyre still spoon feeding him, they only have 20 Welterweights on their books
