In the true sense of the great Irish tradition a meitheal operated at Whites Cross GAA Grounds on Saturday where there was trojan work done in the laying of the astro turf pitch. At one stage there was close to 20 hardy volunteers working on this vital improvement project for the club. There were volunteers coming and going all day long doing their best and lending a helping hand. Anyway a huge amount of work done and, while smaller pieces have yet to be laid here and there and some cutting so that all the edges fit snug together, the hard graft was certainly completed. The contractor to finish putting up the remaining poles, install the entrance gates and put the wire mesh panels will be on site in a week to 10 days or so. The target is to have all the work completed and have the facility ready for the players and coaches before the end of January. Great progress overall and many thanks to all involved on Saturday last - a special shout out once again to Marion Delaney for feeding the troops at lunch-time, just in case they might have disappeared home and not returned! The soup and sandwiches were most welcome after a frosty morning. Thanks also to our skilled driver Richard Linehan who made the work much easier for all the crew of volunteers.
