Development Update:

Our development plans are progressing well. Construction commenced on a new 300 person spectator stand in our second hurling pitch in July and it is hoped it will be finished in time for this Autumn's Junior B All-Ireland competition.

 

The second phase of our development includes the construction of an Astro turf pitch incorporating 2 hurling walls and also a walkway around the first pitch with lighting. We are awaiting the outcome of the Sports Capital grants (due to be announced in mid September) to find out if we will receive funding to complete this phase of our development.

 

The third phase involves the construction of a children's playground. We are hoping to apply to the CLAR grant program through Limerick City and County Council for funding for the playground this Autumn. There are also a number of smaller developments in train at present, including; boundary fencing around first pitch, relocation of nets behind Camas goals, new doors and windows in dressing rooms (thanks to Airtricity), and relocation of gym from Kantoher into squash courts. A lot happening and hopefully if certain grant applications go our way, it could be a very busy next 12 months.

 

Health and Wellbeing Notes:

Killeedy GAA Health and Wellbeing are on Facebook @killeedy gaa health and wellbeing and they are now Twitter @killeedygaaHWB.

 

"Move and Lose" and "Older Adults Programme " - the Sports Complex in Raheenagh was a hub of activity last Tuesday night.

 

"Move and Lose" started at 6.30pm and Elaine Shea from Limerick Sports Partnership led everyone through the exercises and this suited all levels of fitness. She then gave us a talk on nutrition and gave handouts on healthy eating. Remember to try and get two 30 minute walks or other exercise in before next Tuesday. This continues every Tuesday night for the next 5 weeks. New people welcome.

 

"Older Adults Programme" then started  at 8pm, Gearoid from Limerick Sports Partnership set up the hall with all the equipment for the Go for Life Programme.  Small numbers but hopefully  people will spread the word and join in the next night on Tuesday 26th September (2 Tuesday's each month)
