Lights on Juvenile Pitch.  Last Thursday night saw the new lights on the Juvenile Pitch being turned on for the first  time for testing. It was great to see the hard work of the various committees and support of our members materialising in this improvement to our facilities. Thanks to Seamus Byrne Electrical LTD who was the contractor for the lights.

A huge thank you to our 188 members for their support this year - we lost some members from last year and thanks to them for their support and we welcome some new members this year.
