Work Commencing on New Grounds this coming week
The long wait is over. The clubs five year plan created in 2008 is hitting every target along the way and this target is probably the most significant to date. Thanks to Ronan and Claire Kelly, Moone Celtic will now be in the position to provide soccer to an unlimited number of members for the coming years as a whopping five acre site off the old N7 Moone/Timolin bypass is soon to be the clubs new home. Work will start with the erection of the perimeter fencing and then the parking area will be installed. Over the next 6 to 8 weeks ongoing work will be done to upgrade an existing sod that is in excellent condition into the very best for our players to play on. The 2010/11 underage season will kick off in the new grounds in September. Lets hope the new grounds bring as many great memories as Belan Avenue has done throughout the years.
