The lights will be officially switched on by local Fin� Gael TD Martin Heydon at half time, Marin was instrumental in Kilcullen GAA receiving a sports grant for the construction of our new dugouts planned for next season.

It�s more great news for the club following on from the unprecedented success of our recent Lip Sync Challenge event as well as our Dinner Dance held earlier in the year! Not to mention our continued success on the pitch with many of our underage teams playing at the highest levels in the county, not just competing but winning!
