Access to Club for 1st week of Mini All Ireland's – 3rd June to 7th June – Important Please Read
Its’ that time of the year again. The Bank of Ireland sponsored Mini All-Ireland series will get underway next Monday June 3rd. In the 1st week over 400 young girls are participating in Football & Camogie games, second week will see almost 500 boys expected for Hurling and in our final week we expect up to 700 boys for the football competition. Coupled with supporters, it makes for a very busy few weeks. We hope the weather will be kind to us, participants are enthusiastic as ever, enjoying the games and we are delighted to host so many keen young players.
As with all our activities, the safety and wellbeing of participants – and supporters – is our primary concern. This year we will have the extra challenge of the avenue entrance from Lower Kilmacud Road being closed for the upgrade work and some construction infrastructure will still be in place. This project is very close to completion but the avenue closure and construction infrastructure will likely remain in place for most of the 1st week of the tournament. Vehicular entrance to the club will be from the rear off Glenalbyn road.
Due to high levels of participation, parking is very much limited. When possible, please leave your car at home and walk or cycle. If you do have to drive, do so carefully and only ever park in dedicated parking spaces. Please do not park in Allen Park drive and do not obstruct our neighbors. For our part, we will ensure access at all times for any emergency and have a team of volunteers to ensure the safe passage of children as they move from the Clubhouse to pitches and for the purposes of managing traffic. Please respect their instructions at all times. We are looking forward to a great 3 weeks of fun and participation.
Thank you for your understanding and co-operation.
