IN the heart of the St Rynagh’s GAA and camogie community, where passion for sport runs deep, exciting plans are underway to enhance the facilities at the GAA pitch in Banagher.

This ambitious project is a collaborative effort by St Rynagh's Hurling club, St. Rynagh’s Camogie club, and supported by Banagher Athletic club. Together, they are committed to creating a space where athletes of all ages and abilities can thrive.

Their development project includes the installation of floodlights, which will illuminate the pitch, extending training hours and allowing more people to participate in the sports they love.
They are also enhancing safety and accessibility by installing perimeter fencing and a tarmac running and walking path, complete with lighting. This will serve not only athletes but also community members who seek a safe and enjoyable place to walk, jog, or simply spectate.
Moreover, the project will see the installation of a spectator precast stand and dugouts, providing essential facilities for both athletes and supporters. This transformation will ensure everyone can enjoy matches comfortably and enhance community spirit.

By contributing through idonate, you can help them create a premier sports facility that benefits the entire community. Every euro donated is a step towards a brighter future for local sports.
Thank you for your generosity and for being a part of this exciting journey to enhance their community’s sporting life.

A team of hurling and camogie players will Abseil from the Hogan Stand in Croke Park on Saturday November 1st. They would appreciate your support. To donate go to www.idonate.ie or call (087) 4094313.
