Cllr Mary Hoade officially opens the extension Building

Bank Holiday Monday 7th June 2004

Monday saw the official opening of the new clubhouse facility officiated by Mary Hoade and club officials. The sun shone all day as the large attendance enjoyed the various matches, side attractions, home made sandwiches and the general upbeat feeling. The extension to the club house is a credit to all involved and will be of great benefit to the parish for future events and activities. In celebration, we had matches at all ages starting at U8 up to senior football and hurling. At 7pm Mary Hoade kindly cut the ribbon followed by Fr Newell’s blessing of the building.
