“The Pitch Across The Road” is what it used to be known as, before Lucan Sarsfields relinquished control when occupying AGP1, 2 & 3 in the early 90’s. Currently occupied by Esker Celtic, the pitch behind the Hockey Pitch is to become AGP0. In turn Esker Celtic are to occupy Willsbrook Park. South Dublin Co Council have facilitated the change which allows us to consolidate pitches in an area where additional parking, changing and toilet facilities are planned (near AGP1). More detail on this later.

Congratulations to Ciaran Dowling on winning a freshers All Ireland with DCU.
