Sports Capital Grants - Blessington GAA has received great news that we have been allocated €68,827 in the current round of Sports Capital funding for development works in our Club. These funds together with all funds previously raised through our Strictly fund raisers and support from Leinster GAA, will be put to great use for the future of the club. Thanks to all involved for their help and support in preparing and submitting the grant application and to everyone who has supported our development fundraisers to date. 2020 will be an exciting year in our Clubs development.

This will tie in with the Healthy Club Project and we will be encouraging all disciplines to get involved. It will be one day a week starting in January (date to be confirmed). So, calling on all coaches to round up your players and kick off a healthy 2020. Well done to Lisa Jackson for driving this project.
