Club and Community Car Park
Work commences around the clubhouse this week on the eagerly awaited upgraded car parking facilities. The works will rectify the significant drainage problems that exist on the site. In addition, the issue of parking in the broader since which is an annual source of frustration in the village over the Summer months, will be addressed. This project works in tandem with the Councils proposal to complete a pedestrian walkway from Deuglán Naofa club grounds into the centre of the village, and other proposed village enhancements announced recently as part of a €3.25 million package under the Rural Regeneration & Development Fund. The car parking upgrade will comprise three main elements;
The existing grassed area will be stripped, drainage installed, after which it will be covered with stone and finished with a double layer of surface dressing, and lining.
The existing driveway and car park will be levelled and scraped and then surfaced dressed and lined
A new remembrance garden will be done in partnership with Ardmore Tidy Towns, this will also be aided by Climate Action Programme.
On completion, the carpark will provide approximately 60 designated car-parking spaces. The club will be financing a significant amount of this work and will be looking for the support of the community in so doing. Maximising sales of our Déise Draw tickets is critical to the club this year with €63 from each sale staying with the club. We look forward to your support on this fabulous project.
Signage Sponsorship
Deuglán Naofa are currently finalising a signage sponsorship campaign for promotion with local businesses and businesses connected to Ardmore. The proposal will facilitate businesses to erect signage at the side of the pitch for which they will pay and annual sponsorship amount to the club, in line with the package they choose. There will be three options available. Anyone businesses interested should contact any member of the committee for further information.

Juvenile Update
Our Under 15 hurlers played in the Féile qualifiers in Bohadoon last Monday evening. We put in a great performance against Kilrossanty and were unlucky not to take the win in what was a very close game. St. Pats proved to be stronger opponents in the second game and with many players missing, and no subs available, the back-to-back games tested our boys. To give them credit they never gave up and put over some lovely scores. The U15s now turn their attention to training for the hurling championship, with the first round scheduled for the third week of June.
Our U12s played Tramore in the football championship and where a slow start cost them the match but this is something they will learn from. The U12s switch to hurling this Friday evening when they play Clashmore /Kinsalebeing in Clashmore at 6.30pm. Our U10s will travel to Jamie Barron country next Saturday for a 4-team blitz. Our U11s hosted St.Marys and Lismore on bank holiday Monday in a football blitz and played some great football showing just great improvement with each game. Ardmore hosted two very good U9 teams in Cappoquin and An Ghaeltacht last Saturday. Under glorious sunshine, our group gave it their all in both games and will have learned a huge amount from these games.

Under 8 and 10
Our Under 8’s and 10’s travelled to Butlerstown on Monday to take part in their second blitz of the year where they took on Ferrybank, Newtown Ballydurn and Butlerstown. It was a really enjoyable day for the girls and they all played extremely well in all three games. Thank you to Butlerstown for being such great hosts.
Go Games Exhibition Match
Our Under 10’s were delighted to be selected to play in an exhibition match at half time in the Waterford V Limerick camogie game last Saturday. They lined out against Ballyduff Lower and done a superb job of displaying all the skills they’ve learned at training. They also got to meet their heroes and get their jerseys signed after the game. It was a fantastic experience for the girls and we would like to thank Waterford camogie for inviting us to take part on the day.
