Pitch Development
For many years now the club has been in need of a second playing pitch to cater for the large numbers of players we have lining out each year.
In total we have 24 sides between Men’s, Ladies and Juvenile which puts huge pressure on our current facilities.
This year we have been lucky to procure land adjacent to our current premises on which we will be developing an all-weather sand based floodlit pitch along with using some of the land we already own.
The total cost of this development will be €350,000 and to pay for this we are going to be embarking on a major fundraising drive.
Over the next three weeks representatives from the club will be calling to each house in the parish explaining why this pitch is needed and how people can help with our fundraising drive.
This new pitch will be a much needed addition to our facilities and will result in us having one of the finest playing pitches in the country.
Junior B
This Saturday will see our Junior B’s contest the Seamus Connolly Catering JBFC for the second consecutive season when they take on St. Vincents. Throw in is at 15:30 in Páirc Tailteann and we are calling on all our supporters to turn the county grounds into a sea of blue and yellow.
We wish the team and management of Mick Dillon, Declan Byrne and Steven Dillon all the best on Saturday as they seek to take the Fr. Tully Cup back to Fr. Tully Park.
At half time our U-10’s will play their counterparts from St. Vincent’s in an exhibition game.
