GAA Fun Night upcoming

Our Family Fun Night will take place in Newbridge Dog Track on Friday 14 November with the first race at 8pm, writes Jim Buckley chairman of Kilcullen GAA.

Our club is growing very quickly as our Juvenile section grows. Our membership has doubled in the past three years and space is now at a premium in our club. We are also introducing hurling next spring and this will increase our number of teams and increase the pressure on space.

Our first task in our development plan is to improve our current playing facilities. Our pitch development program will start with the upgrading of our pitch beside the convent. This involves intensive drainage works plus training lights on the field. We hope to have these works completed in the next six months.

Later in 2015 we will erect floodlights on our main field to lengthen the playing season at both ends of the year when a lot of important competitions take place.

Your continued support is vital to the health, well being and the future of our club. Come along and bring the family. We have two special novelty races for kids and adults after races 3 and 7 which are proving to be a great attraction. We are still looking for entries so if you are fleet of foot give us a call. We also have a raffle on the night.

For those who don’t want to miss the big Ireland v Scotland game it will be covered on the TV screens at the track. I hope you enjoy yourself and that you have a great evening. Tickets are only 10 euro per adult. Children are free.
