Cork club hits jackpot as property deal nets four new pitches

CHRISTMAS has come early for a leading Cork GAA club after a deal with property developers secured four new pitches and top-class facilities.

Douglas GAA club on the southside of Cork city will also retain the main pitch, dressing rooms and clubhouse of their existing village facility under the terms of an agreement with property development company, Frinailla.

In return the development company secures Douglas’ second pitch, which gives it right of way to land which is planned for development.
