We’d a grand turn out this morning (Saturday 5th September) to pick stones from the stretch of ground at the lower entrance into the pitch.
A big job was done earlier in the year to clean up this area and the job will be finished off in the coming weeks.
With the stones picked and the weeds sprayed, the ground will be harrowed, raked and seeded in the coming week.
Once the grass comes up it’ll be easier to keep it tidy with a run of the mower.

It wasn’t the first time some of this crew had picked stones, there was a lot of experienced stone pickers in the group.
The weather was lovely, the sun was shining, and there was healthy bit of banter going.
The work was done in just over an hour due to all the hands on the job.

Thanks to all the guys who helped out, you’ll see them in the photos below.
Missing from the photos are Pat & Padraig Byrnes who left early to go to Patrickswell for the U14 hurling match and Neal & Con Kirby who arrived after soccer training to find the job already complete.
