Ballyphehane GAA Must Be Given New Playing Pitch in New Inchigaggin Complex

Posted by Emmet O'Halloran

Ballyphehane GAA have outgrown their current facilities

Ballyphehane GAA club must be prioritised for extra playing space at the City Council’s new planned sports complex at Inchigaggin near the Model Farm Road. Currently the club which runs teams for both men and girls of all age groups has the use of just one pitch on the Tramore Road. This space is now unsuitable for the growing club and since my election to Cork City Council I have been working closely with club administrators to secure extra playing space for the club.
One possible solution to the problem would be the granting of additional playing space at the new facility in Inchigaggin. A larger pitch would no doubt allow the club to take the next step in its history by relieving the overstretched capacity on the current pitch on the Tramore Road. Ballyphehane GAA plan to use the new pitch for adult teams thus freeing up the existing pitch for underage games.
Ballyphehane GAA has contributed greatly to the parish throughout the years and I will be lobbying council officials hard to ensure that the club’s future is secured at these new playing facilities.
