C of I set to launch development of state-of-the-art hockey pitch

CORK’S Church of Ireland club are set to launch the €900,000 development of a water-based hockey pitch at their Garryduff headquarters.

The club are planning to start construction on the state-of-the-art pitch in June and it is anticipated the work will take 14 weeks to complete.

There are only three such pitches in the country, all in Dublin. The Garryduff outfit hope that their development will not only help young players, but will also bring national team training sessions to Cork and possibly international matches as well.
