St Finbarr's GAA club Coventry are proud to announce its new partnership with Coventry City Football Club. Coventry City will be using St Finbarr's state of the art 4G pitch and facilities to host it's school holiday camps and development squads, as well as helping St Finbarr's to develop its Underage Gaelic and soccer teams.

This is the culmination of many years hard work by St Finbarr's Club officials to develop its club grounds of over 50 years, with a state of the art floodlit 4G pitch and Social Club facilities in addition to its long standing grass pitch. "We hope to be able to offer as many young people as possible the opportunity of sport, and to also introduce them to the fantastic sport of Gaelic games", said St Finbarr's GAA chairman Danny Coleman. "The partnership with Coventry City FC and the level of investment we have put into place to develop our facilities will help us to meet these goals. After a lapse of a number of years we already have 3 underage teams up and running and we hope this will now go from strength to strength."
In the past St Finbarr's field has hosted exhibition games between the then 1981 Senior All Ireland Hurling Champions Offaly and Tipperary, it is hoped that the St Finbarr's stars of the future will also grace the turf of the oldest GAA Pitch in Coventry.
