- Improvement to the main GAA pitch which includes floodlighting, improvements to the drainage, and a sand-based playing surface to allow for greater availability during the playing season.

Unplayable Pitches
February – May: MSP was unavailable for 7 out of 17 weekends from (41%).

The Easter Camp had to be moved to another location and last-minute cancellation of games (in May!) due to condition of pitches.
Improvements Needed
An All-Weather surface and improved drainage and floodlighting on existing pitches are badly needed to provide playing pitches for training and matches during the season.
