That’s it for 2020. 22 matches played over 8 weekends since the end of October on a natural turf pitch. Yes the pitch is tired but my staff have literally done everything they can to get it through this unique @officialgaa championship. Thanks to all the teams for their support!!
- We enjoy a challenge & after 23 matches over 10 weeks through Nov, Dec, Jan we had from the 29th Jan-26th Feb to carry out major works and recover the Croke Park pitch. Pics show 4 weeks ago after maintenance works & then today. Still a bit to go but great work from the team #GAA
- 90% of prep work for AI hurling finals complete. 20 matches in 6 weeks but we are still in great condition for tomorrow's finals. #GalvWat
- We are all set @CrokePark Well done to all of my team over the past couple of months to get the pitch in such good condition for the start of the season.
- In Jan I celebrated 10 years @CrokePark where my role has grown to overseeing the @GAAngdc and Turf Farm. I’m proud of how we have come through the huge challenges with planning and teamwork. I love what I do and couldn’t do it without the support of my family #GroundsWeek #GAA
- Croke Park pitch ready to go for todays triple header. Lory Meagher, Nickey Rackard and Christy Ring cup finals @officialgaa Good luck to all 6 teams!
- Totally disagree.No GAA club pitch should have these up.. Ever child should be allowed play in the goals when they go to the pitch..
- Pitch 1 @GAAngdc being prepped in the sunshine yesterday ready for a double header on Saturday with @KilkennyCLG v @AontroimGAA minors followed by @gaacavan v @LeitrimGAA in the Div 3 hurling final #AllianzLeagues Renovations and @kyledavies1987 the key to the pitch quality #GAA
- Weather looking poor in the morning so the final touches of pitch prep @CrokePark happening today ready for @DubGAAOfficial v @louthgaa in the final round of the #AllianzLeagues @officialgaa
00:00 - Another amazing turnaround by my team from U2 concert last Saturday night to be ready for 4 matches this weekend. Best of luck to all teams.
- Thank you to the volunteers who help out on match days working on the pitch. With such a busy schedule, your help throughout the season is really appreciated. Also a huge thanks to my team of 6 working tirelessly looking after Croke Park NGDC & Turf Farm doing a fantastic job
- I can’t thank this group enough for their amazing work this week, their professionalism & how they conduct themselves as people. We are set challenges, we discuss them and work out the best plan to produce a playing surface that @CrokePark will be proud of no matter what sport.
