Help with sports equipment

I need to try and buy a Spalding gold in ground basketball hoop for a friend of mine who has had an awful hard time, and is trying to get one for his lad.
He can’t get one anywhere. The lad has had a rough time of it also, and is good at basketball and I’d really like to help if I could.
They’re in Galway.
Would anyone know where I could locate one to get to Galway for them?
Only asking in a vague hope that someone might know someone.
It’s a worthy effort.

First google search

I think those lads are indeed out of stock.
I was half wondering if anyone had a line into the supplier. This is the model I was told he was after, I’m not sure would any other one do.

Myself and @KinvarasPassion will make one of these up for 400 quid, delivered and all.

I think someone suggested ringing the place in Dublin that have it out of stock. Maybe they’d be able to give an insight into whether it’s going to come back in and when, or alternative routes you could take (or even a setup very similar that might do the job)

I thought the whole basketball craze had blown over again?

Uhlsports are Spalding. Teamsports/Claddagh in Galway seem to be the Uhlsport partners in Galway.

Seems to be in stock here:

£675 + £70 delivery to the unoccupied portion of the Emerald Isle.
