Astro and Ballwall Development

Our Astro and Ballwall development is nearing the completion of phase 1 of the project which will see the wall completed and fencing erected. Over the coming weeks the committee will turn their efforts to planning for phase 2 of the project . Thanks to all who have contributed to our donation scheme, these contributions and commitment have allowed the project to get to this point.   As we plan for the final phase of the project over the coming months, we ask you and your family to consider contributing to our donation scheme. While the committee understands this is significant financial commitment, this scheme has been designed to facilitate flexible payments and has allowed the project to proceed and will be needed to get the facility completed and available to boys, girls, adult club members and all in our parish and community.  Thanks to all who have supported this project, remember It’s your community, your club . https://kiladangangaa.com/pages/astro-turf-donations

Sympathy

The club wish to express sympathy to the friends and family of Pat Kennedy (Ashley Park) who passed away last weekend. Pat was a former hurler with the club, having lined out with the Kiladangan Intermediate hurlers in the late 70's and 80's. Pat lined at at wing back on the Kiladangan side that claimed the 1980 North Intermediate Hurling title - defeating Kilruane MacDonaghs in the final before going onto lose the County Final to Loughmore Castleiney.  The club held a guard of honour at Pat's funeral last Monday evening in Puckane. May he rest in peace.
