Balbriggan Cricket Club has grown massively in the past 10 years , in 2007 the club had 2 senior teams and 1 junior team. In 2018 we now have 4 senior teams , 7 junior teams including a new Girls team and a Social Taverners team. The club is still growing with numbers of senior and junior members growing every year. We welcome members of all nationalities and backgrounds and are proud of our diversity as a club.
The club committee have worked tirelessly in the past 10 years and supported by members , supporters and the people and businesses of Balbriggan we have made huge improvements in both the ground facilities and equipment and the level of coaching we provide for our junior members. The results of these efforts have massive success on the pitch for senior and junior teams with multiple League and cup wins and individual Junior representative honours for Leinster and Ireland. Also in 2017 our ground was honoured as the ground of the year for 2017 for the whole of Leinster.
It has become clear in the past 10 years that our club has outgrown our current clubhouse and in 2017 the club committee began the process of planning , gaining finance for and developing a new extended clubhouse for the club.
The goal for the committee is to
- Attain planning permission for a extended clubhouse with a second level added to the existing clubhouse.
- Raise 15-20% of the cost of the project which is a requirement of an application for a Sports Capital Grant.
- Gain community and political support for our project and apply successfully for a Sports Capital Grant.
- Successfully complete the new extended clubhouse.
The commmittee have begun the process of attaining planning permission and will be looking for admissions from members as to how they would like the new clubhouse to look. The committee have also started a clubhouse development fund with a seperate bank account. Any donations will feed directly to this account.
This is a huge undertaking for our club , we need the support of our players , members , parents and supporters to make our project a successful one.
Raising 30-50k isn’t easily achieved, but it is achievable. Every penny counts and your support will be massively appreciated by all at our club.
