💙 A Facility Built by Our Community
With the installation of new lighting, fencing and resurfacing works, the overall project represents an investment of approximately €300,000!
The clubs contribution was only possible thanks to the incredible fundraising efforts and support of our members, volunteers, players, parents, guardians and supporters over the past two years. We sincerely thank everyone who played a part in making this project a reality.

🙏 Thank You
We would like to extend our heartfelt thanks to all parents, guardians and children for their patience, understanding and support throughout the works. We know there have been challenges and disruptions along the way, but your cooperation has been greatly appreciated.
