About

At our Cappa Lodge training campus we plan to build a 60m long x 30m wide steel clad building that is 18, 000 square feet in size. This building will house an indoor astro turf playing facility with a viewing gallery and reception area. A steel portal frame structure will encompass the building with precast walling internally to act as an all-round hurling wall.

Site Works

In December 2016 club volunteers, young and old were only too delighted to plant beech trees along the concrete boundary wall to the Lios Anama estate and the public road. These were planted at the request of nearby residents of the Lios Anama estate. Also the Lios Anama name plate and mini wall for the nameplate were reconstructed at the entrance to the estate.  

Arena Grants Committee - Update

The Arena Grants committee have now completed the application process and submitted the application for Sports Capital Funding under the 2017 programme. An announcement is expected on the outcome of successful applications over the coming months. The application was prepared by a dedicated sub-committee of recruited volunteers for which the club is grateful of all your efforts. The sub Committee consisted of Chairman, Ian Chaplin and members, Flan Quilligan, Vincent Delaney, David Deighan, John Gaule, John McNamara, Christy O'Connor, Joan Keogh.

The weekend festival was a massive success with massive support on the entertainment side and arttendance side from the local community and beyond.
