Armagh Club football & hurling

[winsamsoon]

Prob looking at Harps/ Killeavy/ Cross and maybe St pats for the minor teams

Clans are starting work on Davitt in the next couple of weeks, The plans are to completely shift Davitt so as the bottom goals will now be at the old 21 yard line. In between the 21 and the clubhouse will be an all weather facility . After the new pitch is completed there are another two stages that deal with Changing rooms and another few things.

As a club we had to raise a certain portion of the money and i am happy to say that through a lot of hard work we got there, the rest is council grants and different stuff. But it looks the part. Only down side no homes games this year for the club.

What exactly will the county board be funding then? Plans sound great.. Fair play

[winsamsoon]

Not 100% sure on the county boards input but i think it is a minimum as we have now secured the sole lease of the pitch for 99 years from the county board. Making us responsible for repairs and other issues.

County Board are not contributing anything at all, they did sign it back to us so that in itself allowed us to apply for the grants. The first phase of our works will start within the next 3 weeks and it is as Winsam says...new pitch and a 3G (40mx35m) pitch beside the clubhouse.

2nd phase is the stadia safety which is a grant thru Sport NI. However if you have read the Irish News today you will discover that if this executive falls thru out next phase of works will suffer as £1 million will no doubt be put on hold, that phase of works consists of covered terracing down both sides of the new pitch with roughly 1000 seats to one side as well as disabled seating and toilets etc.

We have achieved our target for the 3rd phase and that was to raise 10% of the final costs for our new pavilion and changing rooms which has all the latest indoor hall, weights room, kitchen, creche etc. This will hopefull happen within the next 2-3 years but again who knows...
