Niall Foran and his men took full advantage of the good weather and wasted no time in carrying out the drainage work on our juvenile pitch which can now be also lengthened; the work is now complete and over 9,000 metres of drains and sand slits have been incised into the pitch.

In addition the senior pitch has been verti-drained, over-seeded and treated with a slow release fertiliser which should leave it in top-class condition for 2017.

Over 200 tonnes of Wexford sand has been spread on both pitches
