Athenry Soccer Club - Christnas 2001

Info

Athenry U-16 Cup Final 2001

Our club had many milestones over the last thirty odd years but none greater than our current project which sees the completion of our Astroturf all weather pitch in our grounds in Moanbaun. We have taken many bookings already for the pitch which is open to any club for use for soccer, football, running, jogging, and any other kind of outdoor activity.

You can book your time by contacting our secretary, Paul Mitchell.

Local clubs and indeed schools can avail of the pitch any time day or night. It is advisable to book as soon as possible to avoid disappointment.

Phase 2 of our development will commence in the Autumn of next year and this will include a fully fitted clubhouse to serve all our under-age teams and our two senior teams. Parking will also be developed to have the whole complex more user friendly.
