Club Update

We expect to have our new LED match lights and poles up and running in the next 2 weeks. The new poles start going up Monday. The first game to test them out will be the 1st XV Men versus Clane, on Saturday the 1st of November, kick off 17.30 . We will show Ireland v New Zealand shortly after which kicks off at 20.00

The Government Sports Capital Grant scheme played a very significant part in making the lights possible and we would like to extend our sincerest gratitude to all involved in making this happen.

Our 800m concrete walking track, with massive support form the IRFU will also be completed in the next 2 weeks.

The official opening for the new renovated grounds ( Lights, Track, Car park (new safety lighting) , terrace etc) is planned for Saturday 29th November, with a separate walking track launch with the IRFU also planned in November.

Both these projects have a shortfall that the club has to make up and that's where we are asking for your support. We will have a number of fundraisers in the coming months, but in the mean time here is what you can do
