Horeswood: Official Opening & Seven-a-Side Football Tournament (Sponsored by Azzurri Sports)

Official Opening

Over the past five years Horeswood G.A.A. Club has engaged in an extensive development project. This June Bank Holiday weekend sees all the work come to fruition with the Official Opening. On 5th June at 7 p.m. the President of the G.A.A., Christy Cooney, will cut the ribbon. This will be followed by a Senior hurling challenge match between Wexford and Limerick.

The list of work done by the club is extensive and provides the twenty-eight teams who operate under the Club's umbrella with facilities that are a match with any in the country.

Our indoor centre consists of a pitch (56m x 27m), dressing rooms and showers, a meeting room, a viewing gallery and a childcare centre. The latter is a state of the art pre- and after-school facility and is proving to be of great benefit to the community.

The Club has also erected pitch-side lighting, an expanded car park, a gym, a glass back wall in the handball alley, a new entrance, refurbished dressing rooms, additional showers and an ice bath.

Sevens (Sponsored by Azzurri Sports)

As part of the Club's weekend events we are proud to announce the inaugural running of a national seven-a-side football tournament: the Horeswood Sevens, with sixteen teams competing. Eight are from Wexford, eight from other counties. Clubs from outside Wexford that have agreed to compete are: Nemo Rangers (Cork), Gaultier (Waterford), Arles-Kilcruise (Laois), Kildavin-Clonegal (Carlow), St. Malachy's (Westmeath), Graiguecullen (Laois), Mt. Leinster Rangers (Carlow) and St. Brigid's (Dublin). Gusserane, Clongeen, Bannow-Ballymitty, Fethard, Adamstown, Taghmon-Camross, Starlights and Horeswood comprise the home contingent.

The tournament is kindly sponsored by Azzurri Sports who will introduce their new, fully approved football.

Teams will be divided into four groups of four. The top two teams will qualify for the Cup, the next two will qualify for the Shield. Games will then proceed on a knockout basis. The final will take place at 5 p.m. on Sunday. Each game will be sixteen minutes in duration. (See schedule).

A barbecue, beer tent, shop, teas, etc and novelty attractions for all ages will operate throughout the weekend.

We look forward to seeing you.
