Ballingarry Community Sportsfield

30/10/2026

A huge thank you to those who braved the rough elements on Saturday night at our launch night. Firstly Thank you to our guests Senator Imelda Goldsboro, Tipperary Senior Hurling Manager Liam Cahill and the GAA director of hurling William Maher. Secondly to our committee for all the work gone into the last year and more in preparation of the project, it’s important to have Volunteers who sacrifice their time in order to improve the local facilities in the present and for the future. Lastly to Ballingarry community centre for the use of the facilities, and to all those who contributed towards refreshments we are extremely grateful. Please find attached some photos from the night. Now we move forward. The future development of the field is for the use of everyone of all ages. Although the flagship project might be the full size all wether and fully lit astroturf, we also have plans to redevelop the public toilets and dressing rooms also. Not to make it solely Sports based we also will be improving the walkway surface to make sure it’s in good condition, (work on that to hopefully commence in early 2027). To do all this however we need financial support, our first major fundraiser is aimed for March 2027 which is a night at the dogs in Thurles. We’re also launching a go fund me page so people can donate towards the development. It’s an investment in your local area and something we can all be proud of. There’s no age limit on those who use our facilities and we wish to be able to maintain it and develop it to the highest standard. The link will be attached below and also a QR code.

A huge thank you to Nathan Maher music, Adrian Webster from solarweb and Denis Doheny from Boulea construction, for there purchase of an advertising signs. Without local sponsorship we would not be able to keep the field operational and to pursue our further developments which will help us improve the facilities over the next four years.
If anyone else would like the opportunity please don’t hesitate in contacting any of the committee or the page directly.
Thanks again!
