If you are in Newbridge and weighing up whether to leave Sky or Virgin Media, the sensible move is to test the thing before paying for it. The Newbridge trial runs 24 hours, needs no card, and works on the telly you already have. That is long enough to check Kildare in the championship, Newbridge Town in local Leinster football, plus every Premier League and Champions League night.
Local viewing guide
Newbridge is where Kildare play their home championship football, at St Conleth's Park, and the county's Leinster days are the fixtures the town organises itself around. The other thing this part of Kildare has is the Curragh, a short distance away, which makes Flat racing a genuine part of the local viewing calendar rather than a novelty. Between Newbridge and Naas the racing interest here is as strong as anywhere in the country. That is worth testing deliberately on a trial, because racing rights are split between broadcasters and it is one of the more common things people find missing after they have committed to a package. Fibre coverage across the town is good.
Newbridge has good fibre coverage across the town and out towards Kildare town and Monasterevin, and being firmly in the commuter belt the housing is largely newer family estates with Dublin-bound households. The evening is where all the demand lands. The distinctive local factor is the Curragh a short distance away, which makes Flat racing a genuine part of the viewing calendar here in the way it is in Naas, rather than an occasional curiosity. Racing coverage is split between broadcasters and is one of the more common things people find missing after committing to a package, so it is worth confirming specifically during the trial alongside whatever else the household watches.
Spend the 24 hours on what you would genuinely miss. For Newbridge that means Kildare in the All-Ireland championship and Newbridge Town in local Leinster football. Load the guide early, find the channel, and be sitting down at throw-in rather than judging it on an afternoon repeat. It will never be St Conleth's Park when Kildare are at home, though on a good line it comes closer than you would think.
Connection check
Your line matters more than the app does. Kildare town with racing at the Curragh on the doorstep. HD needs roughly 10 Mbps and 4K roughly 25 Mbps. SIRO and Eir fibre. Check it during the evening peak in Newbridge so you see the real number rather than the best-case one.
Setup
If you are already with Sky or Virgin Media in Newbridge, do not cancel a thing yet. Run the trial alongside what you have, compare the two on the same match, and only decide once you have watched Newbridge Town on both. That is precisely why we do not take a card.
Send a WhatsApp with your name and number. No card details are asked for.
We reply with your login, usually inside a few minutes.
Someone talks you through the setup on whatever device is already in the room.
You get 24 hours to judge it. Nothing auto-renews, because we hold no card.
No card, at any stage. Newbridge customers start the same way as everyone else: a name, a WhatsApp number, and a login back within minutes. If you do not continue, there is nothing to cancel and nothing to refund.
No. It runs over your existing broadband, so there is no dish, no aerial and nobody calling to the house in Newbridge. If you have a smart telly, a Firestick or an Android box, you already have everything you need.
The library includes GAA championship coverage and local Leinster football, so if a Kildare or Newbridge Town game falls inside your 24 hours you can check it properly. Fixtures and rights move around, which is exactly why we would rather you test it on a real match night than take our word for it.
About 10 Mbps for HD and 25 Mbps for 4K. Kildare town with racing at the Curragh on the doorstep. Test during the evening peak rather than the middle of the day, because that is when the line is under load.
It ends, and that is all. No charge, no reminder emails, no cancellation to chase down. If it did suit you, The Taster is a single €100 payment covering 10 months and The Owner is a single €300 payment for lifetime access on one device, each with 90 days to change your mind.
The same free trial applies wherever you are. If one of these is closer, start there.
