Land Deal..

Bride Rovers GAA Club are pleased to announce that they have come to agreement with the Pyne family to acquire 13 acres of land at Ballybrowney just a half mile from our current pitch Pairc na Bríde.  

At our June Club Executive meeting Chairman Gerard Lane and Vice Chairman Pa O Driscoll reported that they had been in discussions with the Pyne Family for some time and were happy to report that the Club were being gifted 6 acres and purchasing a further 7 acres to give the club an extra  two full playing pitches to cater for the ever-growing numbers in the club.  

The Chairman and Vice Chairman outlined the details to the members and were given full approval to move ahead and finalise matters with Pat & Eileen Pyne and family.  

Members spoke of the generosity of the Pyne family and were unanimous in supporting the endeavour as the Club needs the extra facilities for our increasing numbers.  

Speaking this week Pat Pyne said, “He was delighted to be in a position to gift the 6 acres as Pynes Field has been used by teams from the parish long before the club was formed. The Pyne family have a long association of supporting the club and he has no doubt that the new pitches will be a great asset for the next generation of players”.  

Club Chairman Gerard Lane stated “This is wonderful news for the club coming at a time of great development and as the club approaches its centenary in 2028. The 13 acres which will provide two more playing pitches in addition to the new juvenile pitch will provide the club with much needed ground to cater for the growing numbers. I wish to thank Pat, Eileen and the Pyne family for their generosity and look forward along with the vice Chairman Pa O Driscoll to finalising matters over the coming months and seeing the development work going ahead next year. The Pyne family has had a long association with the parish and the club, and we are extremely grateful to them”.
