Championship: We maintained our senior championship status for next season with a five point victory over the O’Raghallaighs on Sunday evening in Darver. It was without doubt one of the best performances from this team in the last couple of years and had they played like this in the earlier rounds of the championship they would surely have reached the quarter finals at the very least. Every man put in a shift and when you consider the players we were short it makes the result all the more satisfying. Well done to all involved, we will return to the league at the start of next month with the fixtures yet to be confirmed. 

Team: Stuart Reynolds; Emmet Byrne, Conor Byrne, Jack Saddlier; Stuart Osbourne, Jackie Agnew 1-1(P), Niall Conlon 0-2(1f); Ciaran O’Brien 1-0, Conor Kiernan; Dean Corrigan, Bernard Osbourne, Paul McKeever; Robert Quigley 0-5(1f), Conor Culligan, Salem Rifaie. Subs Cian O’Dwyer 1-1 for P. McKeever, Sean Cairns for C. Kiernan.

New Stadium: Louth GAA are delighted to report that they have been granted planning permission for the development of our new stadium at the Inner Relief Road.  After many false dawns, and an exhaustive process of identifying a suitable new home for Gaelic Games in County Louth, they are delighted to announce that the location on the Inner Relief Road in Dundalk has today been granted full planning permission. With the development of the new home in the North East, Louth GAA will now set out on fundraising for the new, state-of-the-art stadium. The 14,000 capacity arena will be made up of a 4,080 seated stand which contains two kiosks, four dressing rooms, and a physio room, each with toilets and showers. There will be two match officials’ rooms, each with toilet and shower facilities, a medical room with a toilet and an office, along with disabled toilets. The standing terrace on the opposite side of the ground will hold 8,470 spectators with male and female toilets, a spectators’ team room, two kiosks, three press boxes, and a storeroom. There will be two standing areas behind the goals, each with a capacity of 725 people. Twenty turnstiles will cater for supporters who enter at the Inner Relief Road side with 10 turnstiles situated at the DkIT Sport entrance. There will be on-site parking for 70 cars — with 24 of them for disabled drivers — and two bus parking bays. The 145m x 90m main pitch will be illuminated by 800 lux floodlighting, which is suitable for televised games, with a warm-up pitch, 90m x 65m in size, lit by 200 lux lights. 

Draw: Wee County Double House draw is still on and will now take place on 4th April 2021 Tickets are available from any O’Connells committee member or online from www.pickahouse.ie. Buy your ticket before 30th September and enter a draw for €5,000.
