Over the last 18 months, Kanturk RFC have<br />
improved their facilities with the recent<br />
completion of a fully floodlit all-weather playing<br />
surface which was completed with the benefit<br />
of grant funding through the 2017 Sports Capital<br />
Grant Scheme.<br />
KANTURK COMPLETE UPGRADES<br />
As Director of <strong>Rugby</strong> Mike Murphy explains,<br />
the completion of the new playing surface to<br />
supplement their two existing pitches is most<br />
welcome due to the club’s growing underage<br />
section.<br />
“The project was an extension of the playing<br />
area which was really driven by demand. We<br />
have two pitches at the minute, two playing<br />
pitches, so we were fairly restricted in space,<br />
particularly for the growing underage section.<br />
So we looked to extend the playing and training<br />
facilities. The area of it, it’s about three quarters<br />
the size of a normal pitch.”<br />
Another project which the club undertook<br />
included resurfacing of the access roadway,<br />
car park and pitch side walkway and this was<br />
completed with support through LEADER<br />
grant funding through IRD Duhallow. Finally,<br />
last summer when restrictions were lifted, the<br />
club’s members and volunteers came together<br />
to give the clubhouse a facelift which included<br />
painting and other renovations.<br />

reformed recently with a greater emphasis<br />
on an alignment of philosophies from a<br />
playing and coaching perspective through<br />
all age groups. Senior coach Ian Sherwin<br />
and <strong>Munster</strong> <strong>Rugby</strong> CCRO Matt Brown both<br />
explain the pride they have in the playing<br />
