VISION
In 2019 Barrow Rangers set out an their vision: to develop two new playing pitches for Paulstown/Goresbridge Parish.
To date they have purchased 7.5 acres and expect to complete the final surface to the new pitches in the Spring of 2023.
Last year Project Lifeline Walking and Running track was officially opened with the assistance of €75,000 grant aid from Kilkenny Leader Partnership.
The Club also completed the first phase of the new access road and carpark earlier this year.
