Cahir Park AFC Social Club
All too often people complain about lack of facilities for those out of work or retired. Cahir Park AFC are to be commended with the novel idea of the opening of Cahir Park Social Club where members can avail of a café, pool table, darts, rings, daily papers, satellite television and a small library.

All ages welcome to this great club.Donations of tables, chairs, kitchen equipment, books etc. would now be appreciated. Contact Cahir Park AFC at 052 7443850 if you can help.
Saturday Academy
Saturday Academy is going very well this season, so much so the Colts session now takes place in the new club house (upstairs) for 4/5 yr olds, with fun football games and plenty of seats for the the mums and dads, so call down the Park on Sat 10am. As usual volunteers are always welcome. Note... kids cannot be just dropped off - parents must stay for the duration of the session.
A sun-bathed Cahir Park provided a perfect backdrop on Saturday last May 22 for the official opening of our fabulous clubhouse by John Delaney, Chief Executive, FAI. MC Phil Blake first of all introduced the Players of the Year for 2009/10. Our Players of the Season then received their trophies from John Delaney.
With big crowds enjoying the bouncy castles, side shows and refreshments and many faces from the Club’s past there to see the proceedings, there was a presentation by Billy Purtill, Club Chairman, to Mr Delaney of a beautifully wood-turned bowl, using wood from an adjacent fallen tree – all this the work of the talented Pat Kinsella. There then followed some short speeches from Chairman of the Tipperary SR Co Council, Liam Aherne, Centenary Committee member Seanie Lonergan, Richie Power of the TSDL, from the Club Chairman Billy Purtill, and from John Delaney of the FAI – who was particularly pleased to see girls catered for so well at the Park. Then a joint blessing from Fr Sean O’Dwyer PP and Rev Arthur Carter preceded a rush to catch a glimpse of the interior of the clubhouse, the wonderful wooden sculpture by Eamon Cowan and a view from the verandah. All returned, as expected, very suitably impressed.
The hard-working committee Chairman Billy Purtill, Vice-Chairman Pakie Halley, treasurer Julie McGuire and secretary Ger Halley and all the other committee members expressed thanks to Patricia O’Dwyer of Boston Scientific who presented the club with a defibrillator on the day, to all those who have bought perimeter advertising around the ground during the year and to the main sponsors in this, our Centenary Year – The Gatehouse, The River House and Mr Mister. The day could not go without a word of gratitude to the trojan volunteer effort that helped complete the clubhouse to such a fine standard, to all contractors who worked on the project, to the ground staff, the help of the Lottery Sports Fund, Pobal, the FAI, Pat Holland and Ned O’Connor in connection with their aid with the Tipperary County Council Sports Grant and, of course, to the people of Cahir and beyond with their great assistance in all of the various fundraising initiatives. Cahir Park AFC can indeed stand proud for many decades to come with community effort bringing to fruition facilities the envy of so many.
