NEW FIELD BENEFACTOR SCHEME
Thanks to all who have signed up so far to our New Field Benefactor Scheme and we would encourage anyone else to sign up as soon as possible to help us reach our target. To help cover the cost of providing a 2nd full pitch, a juvenile field and the provision of car parking facilities in Drombane we are inviting supporters to 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. Despite our recent success in receiving grants this will only partly cover the costs incurred by the development work so your support of the benefactor scheme is much appreciated to help bridge the gap. 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.
