I relise this is maybe a custom made one.
However we have had a custom league/ladder site made and it is near completion.
The next task will be a forum the coder said he would make a custom one but i just want to know if theres any avail like this?

I'd go custom.
The time it takes to build something else into your system and tweak it so you have added functionality, you can make a new one from scratch and give it some basic features to start with, and then add more as time goes on.
Or if you have some time, add them before launch.
That's my recommendation.

I would suggest using FUDforums then. I completely modified a FUD board to fit in a site template only 500 pixels wide! Not to mention that was the first time I had ever changed a template on a PHP board and the first time I had ever used fud forums!
The software is very reliable and was coded by a security consultant if I remember correctly.

The decision is likely to come down to what features you need/want on the forum. phpBB etc add a lot of features, but if you only need something very simple - then a custom job is likely to be possible. It's still worth the time to look at other forum offerings like Fud Forums (it's a nice app) and phpBB - though honestly modifying and trying to work with phpBB is not an attractive thought. It ain't the prettiest code around...
