St. Patrick’s GFC will officially open their new, impressive grounds this Sunday. GAA chief, Paraic Duffy will be on hand to officially open the grounds and then the football will commence with throw in at 1.30pm for the Minor challenge between Ballyboden St. Enda’s and Culllyhanna - the 2007 champions of both counties.

At 3.30pm there will be an Official Opening ceremony by GAA Director General Paraic Duffy. At 4pm the long awaited Senior Football Challenge between Dublin and Armagh will kick off. This is sure to be a big game especially since Peter McDonnell’s side handed out a nine point drumming the last time these sides met a few weeks ago in the league.

Paul Caffrey is sure to bring a strong team with him, while McDonnell could give some other Cullyhanna lads a run out. Patrons please note that there will be stewarded parking at Cullyhanna Primary School and the Chapel which are about 500 yards from the grounds. Well done to the Cullyhanna club for building such a good amenity and getting the mighty Dubs down for a game as well.
