Patrickswell GAA Club Notes:

Patrickswell GAA and Camogie Club are delighted to announce that we were awarded €650,000 via the Large Scale Sport Infrastructure Fund (LSSIF). This is a momentous event in the club’s history. This funding is a significant allocation towards our €1 million development project. It will allow us commence the development of a Top Level Playing Pitch with Floodlights, a Training Pitch and a Walking/Running Track.

We wish to thank our Development Committee for all their tireless work to secure this grant, our Public Representatives for all their help and our members and the wider community for their continued support to make this dream a reality. In the coming months, you will see work begin on the playing infrastructure at Pairc Antoin O’Briain to modernise it to a high standard for this generation and beyond.
