Closure of Fraher Field takes toll on West Waterford coffers

DELEGATES at Thursday night’s annual convention of the West Waterford GAA Board in Knockanore will be told of a significant financial loss for the year.

For the first time in several years expenditure outstripped income, but while a loss of almost €7,000 is a cause of concern, the overall financial situation is healthy.

The main reason for the loss is that Dungarvan’s Fraher Field was closed for most of the year because of resurfacing and drainage works, while the board also made a €10,000 contribution to the County Board towards that work.
