Development work at Kiltale GAA Pitch

All members please note the following: Work on the new complex will begin on Monday 27th August, beginning with dressing room 2. 

  • New flooring in all dressing rooms and hallway of the dressing rooms
  • New shower and toilet facilities
  • Repair to roofing in dressing rooms/clubhouse
  • Upgrade water and heating to accommodate dressing rooms/clubhouse
  • New Gym

We ask all players and mentors to show patience with the works. The club appreciates that the hurling season is still in full swing, but the timeframe for completion must still be met and work must begin immediately as a result of the delay with the folio number.

To facilitate all, players are asked to appreciate with time that showers will not be available and only one dressing room will be available without showers. As said we apologise for the inconvenience of this but hope that all can appreciate where the committee and club have to work from. The club are most grateful for the assistance of FAS with the work and those that have offered to supply tools etc.

NOTE: Some help is need locally for the start and thereafter Vincent Walsh Construction will complete the remainder of the work. We need assistance and the club would ask if any trade men or members could help them out in the evening to please contact Dom Reilly 0862132288 or Paddy Kelly 0868282458. If you would contact Dom or Paddy and the club will plan to address the work.

Sympathies

Kiltale Hurling & Camogie Club would like to express its sympathy to the Clarke and Quinn families on the recent bereavement of Maire. May Maire Rest In Peace.

Meath GAA ‘Royal House’ Draw

Coiste na Mí CLG have unveiled a major fundraiser to help bankroll the redevelopment of the county grounds at Páirc Tailteann – a draw in which three lucky ticket-holders will win a 3-bedroom semi-detached house! 

All the funds raised will go towards Phase 1 of the Redevelopment of Páirc Tailteann, which includes a 4,000-seater stand, an extension to the pitch, and the installation of new floodlights.

There are three draws over the next 18 months, with the first prize in each as a new home in the new Cois Glaisin development, constructed by Glenveigh homes, worth €275,000!

There will also be runners-up prizes – second place will win €10,000; third will take €7,000, fourth will win €5,000, and there will be six prizes of €1,000 each.

The tickets for Draw 1 are €100 each, which can be purchased through GAA clubs or online at royalhousedraw.com. The payment online can be upfront or in instalments. There’s also an Early Bird option where patrons can enter all three draws, at a discounted price of €250. This option is open until October 31st and payment can be in paid in instalments online.

Meath GAA Clubs will be rewarded financially for any ticket sold by or through the club – taking 15% of the cut for the first hundred tickets, 25% for the next hundred, and 40% for tickets sold beyond that.
