Cobh

Read my current Cobh News Roundup here: a few days late due to trip to Kilkenny for a wedding on Monday. I left on Sunday after watching part of the under 15 game Ramblers v Club Kildare. Of course the standout event of the weekend was the blessing and official opening of the Stephen Ireland Astra Turf Park pioneered and delivered by that amazing group Cobh4Football and magnificently achieved over a 4 year period despite all the odds. See special feature on the Explore Cobh App.

Bishop William Crean Saturday 23rd of October addressed the huge gathering and blessed the magnificent astra turf facility masterminded by Cobh4Football. Stephen Ireland cut the ribbon to officially open the magnificent facility. The group deserves great credit for their magnificent vision. It was very much appreciated that that the bishop was invited. Again great credit to all and to Stephen Ireland for making the dream possible. I thoroughly enjoyed the 5 hours I spent at the venue on Saturday, watching the young and old make great use of the amazing facility. I thoroughly enjoyed the dinner at the Raddison Little Island that night. I was sitting at the table with old friends the Kelly brothers from Ballydesmond contractors for the facility both their daughters played with the Cork Ladies football team.

On Sunday the 24th after the excitement of Saturdays extravaganza at the opening of the Stephen Ireland Astra turf pitch it was back to normal on Sunday with Cobh under 15 boys playing a very strong Kildare team. A goal down at the interval they shared 2 goals with their opponents in the 2nd half to lose out by the odd goal in 3.
