Laois soccer club launches fundraising appeal for new development

Abbeyleix AFC juvenile committee has announced the development of a new playing pitch on the outskirts of the town, adjacent to the former Stonearch facility. 

The juvenile club currently caters for more than 170 boys and more recently 45 girls playing on 3 all-girls teams bringing the total to 14 teams across age groups from 7 to 16 years of age. The desire and need to secure additional playing areas have long since been on the agenda and as above it is hoped the future of the game for all will be secured in the years & indeed decades to come in light of this new development. 

As with any undertaking of this scale, there will be considerable cost implications. Phase 1 is estimated to cost in the region of €50,000. The club is working on a series of initiatives into the new year aimed at fundraising, all are very thankful in advance for any support available from the community and indeed those living further afield. Local businesses who feel they can contribute or wish to get involved in any form going forward are encouraged to get in touch with any of the committee or direct to Club Treasurer Mick Moran on 0872765871.

With the above in mind The club kicking off the first of our fundraising drives with a Go fund me page, donations of any amount will be very gratefully received and will go a long way to seeing boys and girls out enjoying the game on the new pitch in the very near future.
