We presented initial thoughts to a group of juvenile mentors and adult members to get feedback

Development of Skills Wall for

How much is maintenance per

What about ball stop nets on pitch 2 and 7

instead?

Is the pitch open to the Ladies Football

& Camogie?

How long can you play on the new pitch per week?

What about storage of equipment and

playing gear?
