COISTE NA NÓG:
“Reeling in the Years” - This week we cast our eyes back to 2016 and 2018. This weekend in 2016 fundraising efforts for the ball wall were just getting off the ground. Hopefully it won’t be long before we will see activity once again in the ball wall and sportsfield.
2016 Finally, as the players continue to get their games sharp for the long summer ahead, their mentors and parents continue to work behind the scenes to support them. Féile preparations are well underway at this stage and fundraising continues for several initiatives, in particular the proposed new hurling ball wall for the sports field. Finally, fundraising continues in the effort to complete the new ball wall development at the sports field and support is still needed. Please visit the website www.ballyduffballwall.com to move it ,so it makes perfect sense to stay put and observe the guidelines and hopefully come May 5th some of the restrictions may be lifted. So in the meantime stay safe and stay healthy. Both fields and the ballwall are closed but access to the County Council recycling facilities is still open.
