New gym facility gives Limerick GAA club a boost
State-of-the-art facility unveiled at Crecora-Manister GAA club
A NEW players’ gym facility has been opened at Crecora-Manister GAA Club.
Communications Minister Patrick O’Donovan was on hand to cut the ribbon to officially open the gym, which is adjacent to the dressing rooms of the GAA pitch.
Members, officials, and players from both the GAA club and the camogie club, whose players will also use the gym, were present at a special event on a day blessed with sunshine. In that number was All-Ireland winning centre-forward Cathal O’Neill.
Over the past five years, both clubs have been busy – an astro-pitch facility, community walking track and player dug outs have come on stream in the village.
The players’ gym was completed thanks to funding from the Government’s sports capital unit, plus money from devolved funding given to Adare-Rathkeale councillors Stephen Keary, Bridie Collins and John O’Donoghue.
Pat Quirke, the chairperson of Crecora-Manister GAA Club said the investments amount to €450,000.
He acknowledged the input and co-operation from all in Crecora-Manister GAA Club and Crecora Camogie Club.
