Youghal Rd Land Contract Signed
07 June, 2017
Midleton Hurling & Football Club are delighted to announce that on Tuesday last the 6th of June we signed the final contract to purchase 36.7 acres at Youghal Rd, Midleton at a cost of €380,000.
This is the first step to put a modern day sports campus in place - a facility that will sustain us for many years to come.
Our current pitch was purchased in 1958, officially opened in 1962, the Club Pavilion was constructed in 1975 and over the years it has served us extremely well.
In its day, it was the envy of a lot of Clubs in the County and while our grounds remain popular, it is under extreme pressure to contain all of the demands placed on it.
Back in the early days we only had a number of Adult teams and a fledgling Juvenile section. Today we still have all our Adult hurling & football teams, a very vibrant Juvenile club, a well-established Ladies Football club and a new Camogie club fielding teams in all age groups.
In total our Membership has now reached 900 and is increasing annually, needless to say, as a result of this we have urgently needed to increase our playing space.
Midleton Hurling and Football , Juvenile, Ladies Football and Camogie Club’s now have the task of driving the fundraising for future development.
It is our hope to garner the support of our members and the wider community to support this.
Many thanks to all those who have contributed their time, ideas and experience in the lead up to this purchase.
An open meeting for MEMBERS of the Hurling & Football Club to discuss our future development plans will take place in the Club Hall on Thursday 22nd of June @ 8pm.
We look forward to welcoming you there.
