I've been getting my kit from Active since I was a kid and went to Willow. Whilst he has been there a lot less since the Leinster store opened the owner has always been a gent who threw in free gum shields and the likes when you bought new boots or whatever.

Active is a pretty small store but very good in Blackrock and in a good location as well. Maybe they could expand into the unit beside them which iirc hasn't been occupied for a while.

+1

I will still support them, there were one or two occasions that when I was in college down in Waterford and they would meet me (obviously back around Dublin somewhere) or hang around the shop late to pick up because I left it too late for posting and would of being going on an away trip the next day.

I agree with all the posters here. I am a Leinster fan in Canada and ordered lots of merch through them... I always liked the personal touch in email correspondence, and the variety of products, they were super nice. Some people have mentioned that they have a shop somewhere?? Can anyone tell me if they have a website, or contact info so i can still order through them??

Was talking to John last night.


Gentleman that he is, he confirmed that Active Sports are still offering the 10% discount to season ticket holders.

Excellent news - nothing less than I would expect.

I recall Danielle trying on various shirts so that she could let me know how the ladies sizes were likely to fit Mrs Mikey - I should add I was NOT in the shop at the time, but emailing her!! - service or what??!

Was in the shop with them today. Gave me the balance back after my purchase with a Lifestyle voucher so no complaints. Were very nice too in fairness.

I was just having a look in the Dragons webpage, when i noticed that the club do the official number printing for £5

https://shop.rodneyparade.com/p-479-hom ... nting.aspx

I would say there is a huge gap in the market for Lifestyle to do somethingk like this. Many would hapily pay €8 for single digit, €10 for double digit printing

Lifestyle Sports has booths in Dundrum, Mary Street (if not other stores too) that do the shirt numbering/lettering.
