Timber/Turf Auction

The club will be holding a timber and turf auction in the coming weeks. If anyone has timber available for this please contact Shane Hennessy at 087 1387410.

Hurling Wall

We are delighted to report that our hurling wall is nearing completion. A concrete apron has to be placed in front of this gate which will be completed this week.

The rota for the use of the wall is being organised at the moment and this will be hopefully up and running in the coming weeks.

However, to help our U13 heroes we are allowing them tonight to be the first team to use this wonderful facility in preparation for their big day next weekend. We wish them every success in their Co Final against Holycross next Sunday.
