Significant progress has now been made in the past couple of weeks on developing our 2nd playing pitch in Drombane. Once completed, focus will turn to  a juvenile pitch, car parking facilities & extension of the walking track. To help cover the cost of this work we are inviting supporters to help us and become a benefactor. Patrons will be able to support the scheme by bank transfer, subscribing in person with a committee member or payment online via our club website. You can find full details on our website: https://upperchurchdrombanegaa.ie/new-field-benefactor-scheme These new facilities will be of major benefit to both our juvenile & adult teams as well as the ladies of Slieve Felim Rapparees for many years to come.

We begin our mid championship campaign this evening(Friday) when we face Moyne-Templetouhy in the quarter final at 7pm in Holycross. Tickets can be bought online at https://embed.futureticketing.ie/c/mid-tipp-gaa/ or at the gate via Tap n Go. The match will also be streamed on www.clubber.ie along with a number of other local matches. Best of luck to the team.
