Planning permission lodged for Ballygibli­n pitch

- MARIAN ROCHE

Ballygibli­n GAA have lodged planning permission for the constructi­on of an all-weather training pitch at their grounds outside

Mitchelsto­wn. The club also plan to install a 100m long wall for hurling training purposes, along with floodlight­s.

Club personnel have been hard at work fundraisin­g for the new pitch, particular­ly in light of their success in the 2021 competitio­n where their junior hurling team were proud finalists in the All-Ireland club championsh­ip.

In some of their recent fundraisin­g efforts, the club had a sale of calves at Corrin Mart last week with the aid of sponsors who had reared the calves for the club.

A decision on the planning applicatio­n is expected from Cork County Council in the first week of May.
