Banteer Indoor Astroturf Pitch

The night began with Chairman Dan Twomey welcoming all to the official opening of the new facilities. A minute’s silence was observed for all deceased members/volunteers over the past 25 years. Dan praised the various people who made the project possible from the hardworking Committee members to the contractors.

He outlined that these facilities will serve the community for many a year to come. He also welcomed back Fr Ryan from his retirement and thanked both Fr Ryan and Fr Winter for making the land available for the project.

He outlined that over the past year and a half over €900,000 had been spent on the new state of the art Astro turf, gym and dressingroom facilities which compliment the existing centre.

These facilities are used by all of the community including Banteer National School and Banteer Community Childcare who both use the indoor astro turf as their indoor play facility.Fr William Winter performed the blessing of the facilities.
