Railway Union in Sandymount is about to open a brand new indoor training facility to be known as the Railway Dome. This purpose built facility is designed primarily as a cricket training ground, with the potential to open it out to other sports further down the line. As it is an indoor facility it will be suitable for all weathers and every season. RU hopes to rent it out to schools and other cricket clubs for training sessions. Dave Riseborough, secretary of the club, told NewsFour that he hopes the facility will be opened by the end of February. “It is the only facility like this on the South Side,” he said. Railway Union will run youth camps here at Easter and over the summer. Should you wish to hire the dome or just want more information contact them at thedome@railwaycricket.com
