From humble beginnings back in the 80\u2032s when the site was an abandoned factory some dedicated badminton players have turned the centre into the home of badminton on the northside of the city. With eight courts, a bar and the headquarters of Badminton Ireland the centre is vibrant and busy catering for players of all ages and abilities. Featuring contributions from Jean Denihan, Mary Dinan, novelist Sheila O\u2019Flanagan and the Raheny Auld Fellas.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/listenagain.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/03\/BAI-logo-mark-colour.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" alt=\"BAI logo mark colour\" src=\"http:\/\/listenagain.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/03\/BAI-logo-mark-colour-215x300.jpg\" width=\"215\" height=\"300\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>This series is made with the support of the Broadcasting Authority of\u00a0Ireland\u2019s\u00a0Sound and Vision scheme.<\/p>\n<div class=\"powerpress_player\" id=\"powerpress_player_6692\"><a href=\"http:\/\/media.blubrry.com\/nearfm\/www.neararchive.org\/upload\/6Badminton.mp3\" title=\"Play\" onclick=\"return powerpress_embed_html5a('6692','http:\/\/media.blubrry.com\/nearfm\/www.neararchive.org\/upload\/6Badminton.mp3');\" target=\"_blank\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/listenagain.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/powerpress\/playbutton-443.png\" title=\"Play\" alt=\"Play\" style=\"border:0;\" \/><\/a><\/div>\n<p class=\"powerpress_links powerpress_links_mp3\" style=\"margin-bottom: 1px !important;\">Podcast: <a href=\"http:\/\/media.blubrry.com\/nearfm\/www.neararchive.org\/upload\/6Badminton.mp3\" class=\"powerpress_link_pinw\" target=\"_blank\" title=\"Play in new window\" onclick=\"return powerpress_pinw('https:\/\/listenagain.org\/?powerpress_pinw=8378-podcast');\" rel=\"nofollow\">Play in new window<\/a> | <a href=\"http:\/\/media.blubrry.com\/nearfm\/www.neararchive.org\/upload\/6Badminton.mp3\" class=\"powerpress_link_d\" title=\"Download\" rel=\"nofollow\" download=\"6Badminton.mp3\">Download<\/a> (14.0MB)<\/p><p class=\"powerpress_links powerpress_subscribe_links\">Subscribe: <a href=\"https:\/\/listenagain.org\/?feed=podcast\" class=\"powerpress_link_subscribe powerpress_link_subscribe_rss\" target=\"_blank\" title=\"Subscribe via RSS\" rel=\"nofollow\">RSS<\/a><\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This Sporting Life: The Story of Minority Sport in North Dublin This Sporting Life\u00a0is an upbeat and lively series of short documentaries which capture the excitement and dedication of minority sports people and encourages others to join in.
