Pitch Developments 2010
2010 begins with further developments to our GAA pitch with development of a hurling wall which is 18 meters wide by 5 meters high with 2 side wings 5 meters wide with this project completed by William Costello Kilgublin Abbeydorney this week. Funding for this project comes from the old Abbeydorney Sports Hall Development which allocated partial funding towards this wall ball. We are developing a astro turf 18# 18sq at one side of the wall which will be fenced in, we hope to have a work completed over the next few weeks and we wish to thank the old development committee for funding towards this project.
Pictures and more details will be up- dated shortly
