TRALEE Parnells are inviting teams for their upcoming Golf Classic which takes place in July to help upgrade their new GAA pitch in Oakpark.

In 2022, Tralee Parnells was granted a 13 year licence for the use of the GAA pitch, Pairc na Darach, at the Tralee Sports Complex in Oakpark for their Academy players.

In order to upgrade the pitch at Pairc na Darach to make it suitable for playing hurling and camogie, substantial investment is required – over €30,000, of which a substantial amount has already been invested by the club.

New ball-stops have been erected, nets on the goalposts have been replaced, landscaping has been carried out and the pitch has been sanded, juvenile goalposts have been purchased.

Some final groundwork is required so the young hurlers and camogie players can display their skills on a top quality playing surface in a safe environment.  The club hopes to have the facility ready for their Academy by July or early August.

To this end, the club is running its inaugural Golf Classic in Beaufort Golf Club on Friday July 21. Entry fee for a Team of 4 is €200. There are also tee and green sponsorship opportunities available, as well as sponsorship of prizes.  Please contact Agnes at 087-8377969 or any member of the Committee for further information.

The club is asking local businesses, parents and supporters of the club to come on board to make this fundraiser a success and to provide the best playing facilities for our young hurlers and camogie players.
