Astro Turf
The laying of the Astro Turf at the Hurling Wall will commence in early November. This development will be of immense benefit to all juvenile and adult teams in both hurling and camogie. To finance the project the club is about to launch a major fundraising drive. The Star Prize in the 700 Club is a Citreon C3 Car sponsored by Mulcahy Car Sales, Ardcroney, the Official Sponsor of the Kilruane MacDonaghs Club. There is a total Prize Fund in excess of €20,000 with 12 prizes on offer. The draw will take place in the Corner House, Cloughjordan on Friday, 16th November.
