I am thinking of starting to play sport again but I am still breast feeding. I only feed my DS twice a day now, morning and night. I am just wondering if anyone out there has played sport while breast feeding and how you went with it or if I shouldn't do it for some reason?

I dont think you will have a problem. Im breastfeeding DS2 about 5 feeds a day. I also run 10+kms. I just make sure that I feed BEFORE I run or its pretty darn uncomfortable!
Make sure you keep your fluids up, eat and rest enough. And try to get a wirefree sports bra.
Sport is brilliant for keeping sane!

I am still b/feeding my DS only twice a day but I have been playing netball for the last couple of months and I go for a walk nearly every night for the past 6 or so months. I wouldn't worry too much just make sure you have a very supportive bra on and as the PP said drink lots of water.
