As you will know, our application for a Sports Council grant was recently deemed invalid but the club submitted a vigorous appeal on the grounds that it clearly had put in place a strategy to have sufficient funds to complete the works were it to receive funding under the grants scheme.

We are delighted to announce that our appeal has been successful and consequently the club has been awarded €145k towards the costs of our new pitch development in summer 2025.

When the specific details of our case were made known directly to the Minister, Catherine Martin, she fully supported our position and personally ensured that a fair and very satisfactory outcome was secured for the club. We are very grateful to the Minister for her help.

While this grant happily ensures financially that we can proceed with the works, we still need to reach our sinking fund €50k) and member fundraising (€50k) targets.

If you have any queries please contact either of the undersigned.

Roger West, Club President and Bernie Keogh, Club Manager
