Thanks to all who have signed up so far to our New Field Benefactor Scheme. Works are still ongoing at preparing our new full size pitch & juvenile pitch and good progress is being made. To help cover the cost of this work and the provision of car parking facilities 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.
