Leitrim’s New Astro Turf Pitch For Kids Under Way!
Updated : Feb 20, 2009
A new €100,000 Astro Turf pitch is under construction for the kids of Mohill Co. Leitrim. The Astro turf will obviously be a huge and welcomed benefit to kids at Mohill’s new Community School, but it will also contribute to the wider community as the public and local organisations will be allowed free use of the facility, once it is booked in advance and used after school hours.
The new pitch development is costing €100,000. €20,000 was donated by a local Mohill community group that was originally set up with the aim of bringing a swimming pool to the town.
The remaining amount was funded by the Football Association of Ireland (FAI) with €35,000 and Leitrim County Council with €45,000. This will give the kids and local community a boost with activity camps and training on the new pitches.
VeryHappyPig loves these local stories and will be down for a game on their new high-tech pitches!
