The Baltinglass GAA Club Development Draw will take place on Friday November 8th at 8pm in Horan's Baltinglass.

2024 was once again a very busy year for Baltinglass GAA Club with 20 different teams being prepared and coached by about 90 volunteer coaches. This includes Adult men and ladies, juveniles, Sports 4 All Group and our Gaelic 4 Mothers & Others Group.
We are indebted to all these volunteers – well done!

DEVELOPMENTS WORKS COMPLETED THIS YEAR:

This time last year we said in our Development Draw Notes that we intended to carry out complete Pitch Drainage works on our Main Pitch and install new LED Floodlighting system also.

We are glad to now report that these works are fully completed. Our Main Pitch is in great condition and our new LED lights are a big improvement - Excellent quality lighting and also much more environmentally friendly having to use a lot less energy to power these new lights.

As well as the works on our Main Pitch, our Club also developed our car parking facilities at the road end of our grounds. We removed the bank and transformed the whole parking facility to include much improved accessibility for our less abled supporters to enjoy watching the matches and coaching sessions.
Well done to our Facilities Committee. It's thanks to the funds generated from our Club Development Draw and our Weekly Lotto that we can afford to keep improving our wonderful facilities.

DEVELOPMENTS PLANS FOR 2025
We now plan to go and develop the back pitches. We hope to level and drain the total 'Back Pitch' area. And develop two new pitches for training and playing matches.

 

Included in these plans is the development of a Community Walkway around the full circumference of our grounds. We know that the parents of the kids up training each night will get great value from this facility – once completed.

 

We were delighted to be recently approved for Sports Capital Grant Funding putting us in a great position to finalise the exact plans and costings of the works and get that out to tender.
