Leitrim Gaels stage first game on new Community Field

Last weekend was a special one for the members of Leitrim Gaels who staged their first game on their magnificent new Community Field facility in Leitrim Village. They drew with Aughavas in the Masonite League Division Four Clash on Saturday evening on the wonderful new surfac e.

The new facility features a full-size all weather pitch with room for an additional training area and a running track, a large car park as well as a state of the art dressing room complex, with a fully fitted stainless steel kitchen, function room and offices.

Prior to this Leitrim Gaels had used the facilities of neighbouring club Kiltubrid.

Congratulations to all concerned on a fantastic development.

Get on the team – initial list of names

Are you on the team yet ?

The fundraising scheme Get on the team devised by Leitrim County Board as the main source of fundraising for the development of the new stand at Pairc Sean Mac Diarmada, has been hailed a huge success as the contributions received to date has now well passed the half million mark.

The scheme which was launched late in 2006, is now gathering momentum as the stand reaches its completion date and presently donations are now coming in on a daily basis.

Speaking on behalf of the County Board Chairman Gerry McGovern has expressed the gratitude of the board to all who have made their donations to date and to all who have committed to making donations in the near future. He says “its an indication of the commitment of Leitrim people everywhere to support the development of Gaelic games in the county and the pride that Leitrim have in their County as Leitrim GAA provide one of the newest and most modern facilities in the country”

The Stand which is scheduled to be completed at the end of the month will boast the most modern facilities for players and supporters alike and something that every Leitrim person will be duly proud. Press facilities at the stand will be also of the highest standard.

Providing a facility of this nature is a huge achievement for a county like Leitrim as the County Board aim to provide state of the art facility for its players and supporters.

It is the aim of the County Board to have the stand paid for by its completion date, which is achievable with the assistance of all Leitrim supporters, and as the completion date looms the County Board are once again making a special appeal to people who wish to contribute to the cost whether it be through the scheme Get on the team or people who just want to make a donation of any nature, if they could to do so as soon as possible, as there is now a huge demand on funding to bring this new brilliant facility to a conclusion.

The following have made donations to date, and as the list gets longer we will bring the names of all who have made contributions to this magnificent development.

Half Million Mark

Leitrim GAA are pleased to announce that the Get On the Team fund raising initiative has reached the half million euro mark over the weekend. There has been a considerable number of individuals sending in their donations in recent days at a time when funding is most needed. We are now one third of the way towards our target of €1.5 million.

This projects aim is to replace the old dressing rooms and media area with a fantastic new structure that not only replaces the old but gives us an extra 3,000 seats for spectators.

The new stand is progressing well as we get closer to its completion date in 5 weeks time. The ground floor which includes 4 large dressing rooms are at an advanced stage (painting and tiling) and the middle suite of offices are well progressed. A lot of work is currently happening at the Media area as there is a body of work involved in enclosing this area. The spectator area is now ready for seating and the task of installing the 3,000 seats will begin this week.

This stand will have state of the art facilities for players, spectators and the Media. It will have the most modern communication facilities of any GAA stadium in Ireland.

If you are not on the Team Fundraiser and wish to do so then please contact an officer of the County Board as soon as possible as every euro invested at this stage will reduce the cost of any borrowings that Leitrim GAA may have to endure. Click on the Developments Link on the left hand side to obtain more specific info. and instructions. Donations that are not Tax Relief compatible are also most welcome.

This is a project where everyone wins – please support it.

With those two major projects continuing along side each other it is very obvious that Leitrim GAA are working very hard to provide facilities of the very best standard for both players and supporters.

Developments of this nature are very demanding on the finances of the board, and supporters have beenÓgreat in making donations towards the cost of these developments, but this being the 21st anniversary of the Supporters Club, Leitrim GAA would be appealing to all its followers to rally in behind the Supporters Club and once again show that Leitrim Supporters are the best supporters in the country .
