TUBBERCURRY

GAA CLUB SCRAP METAL COLLECTION

Tubbercurry GAA Club have recently signed the contracts for phase one of development at Kilcoyne Park. This is the upgrade of the training pitch to an all weather sand based playing surface.

Fundraising efforts, which included the successful OsKaRs and the award of the Sports Capital Grant have allowed the club to start the works in the coming weeks.

However, we are short of our financial goal, so with this in mind we are running a Scrap Metal Collection through the month of July until 1st August. Kilcoyne Park will be open every Saturday & Sunday from 9am - 1pm for the public to drop off any scrap. If you cannot bring scrap to us please contact Hugh 0876653923 or Dermot 087-7688301 and they will arrange a pick up from your location.

Now more than ever we appreciate our sporting venues and we urge everyone in the locality to support our fundraisers, be it the Scrap Metal Collection or our 50/50 Draw and as always please support our sponsors and local businesses in any way you can.Thank you for your support.#Tubbercurry GAA Sligo GAA Connacht GAA
