St Saviours club is reborn from ashes following devastating fire

“Soul-destroying” had been a key phrase used to describe a weekend, earlier this year, when arson attacks caused destruction to sporting and social amenities in Waterford city.

St Saviours GAA clubhouse along with separate amenities belonging to a boxing, soccer and youth clubs were significantly fire-damaged in the community of Ballybeg.

Less than nine months later, the community stands triumphant as the GAA club last night celebrated the official opening of its newly-refurbished complex.
