Pitch-perfect plans from sports club

- EMYLIE HOWIE

A Cambuslang-based sports club have released an image of their exciting new pitch developmen­t plans.

Tir Conaill Harps, who provide Gaelic sports for young people in an affordable, safe and fun environmen­t, have unveiled their official plans to redevelop their pitch at Cambuslang Rugby and Sports Club.

In March 2019, the team embarked on a sporting partnershi­p with Cambuslang Rugby Club, finally giving them a place they could call home.

That allowed them to utilise the facilities at the clubhouse, as well as the training area.

As part of the club’s threeyear redevelopm­ent plan, the decision was taken at the club AGM in November 2020 that the focus should be on providing a redevelope­d playing surface for the many teams within Tir Conaill Harps as the club continues to expand at all levels.

The club say they “are extremely excited” with the plans which they hope will be completed by August 2022.

Club chairman Anton Gallagher told the Reformer: “This is a huge decision for the club, but one that the current management committee will ensure is completed to allow our current adult teams and brilliant underage players to enjoy for many years to come.

“We want to thank our partners who have already pledged support and hope to recruit even more over the next few months. As we look towards a brighter future as we emerge from the Covid pandemic, we want to ensure we can provide hope and a brighter future for our players and coaches as we continue to develop Gaelic football in Glasgow.”
