CAHIR PARK AFC (E21 R966)
LADIES TRAINING SCHEDULE 2021
Saturdays at 8pm
On Friday June 3 2016, on a gloriously sunny afternoon, a far cry from the winter weather that has necessitated the development of an all-weather pitch, Cahir Park AFC held a family fun day to mark the official ‘sod turning’ of its’ 3G All Weather Pitch project. A very large crowd turned out to enjoy a bouncy castle, face painting, and lots of free cold drinks and ice cream. As you might imagine lots of soccer games were played.
The day was marked by two very special events. The first a visit from the senior management team of ABP Cahir to present a cheque for over €100,000 towards the project on behalf of ABP Ireland and the second a visit from FAI then Chief Executive and Tipperary man, John Delaney, who, in between playing soccer with the kids and presenting certificates of achievement to our Football for All players managed to perform the official sod turning. John thanked ABP for their support and gave great encouragement to the club in developing what will be the very first full sized all-weather pitch in the county of Tipperary. He went on to comment on the very large investment of over €360,000 the club was making and asked all local businesses and individuals to contribute what they could to the fundraising effort. He then pledged to work hand in hand with the club and committed €50,000 over 10 years to meet a very significant part of the clubs repayments on the projects projected loan.
The commitment from ABP Ireland and The FAI will go a long way starting the project and ensuring it can be sustained. A considerable amount of fundraising remains and the Club asks all local businesses and people to contribute what they can by making a donation to the fundraising initiative called the ‘100 Club’ as soon as possible to any club or committee member.

Billy Purtill RIP
Cahir Park AFC asks you to remember the late Billy Purtill, Carrigeen - a servant of four decades amongst us.
Falcon, as he was affectionately known to us all, was a player, coach, manager, chairman and committee member since his early years and came from a family steeped in a tradition of soccer in Cahir.
October 22, 2013 will long be remembered as a sad day in the history of Cahir Park AFC.
May he rest in peace.
Pat Kinsella RIP
Pat played for the club in the 60s and early 70s and was groundsman for many years. Pat was a skilled woodturner and presented the club with a beautiful timber bowl in the club's centenary year 2010. He also presented one to then Ireland manager Giovanni Trapattoni. Pat was held in high esteem by all and is greatly missed but will not be forgotten by those of us who had the privilege to work with him. To his wife Sadie, daughters Rhoda and Ann and sons Freddie and John we extend our sincere sympathy in their great loss. We hope you took some comfort seeing how highly regarded Pat was and we would like to thank those at the FAI for remembering Pat at Ireland's World Cup game v Wales in March 2017
Tara Shine RIP
Cahir Park AFC also record the untimely passing of our dear friend, club member and coach Tara Shine after a very brave battle against illness which she fought to the very end. Tara was a shining light who had a smile for everyone and will be sadly missed. We express our sincere sympathy to her son Eoin and the Shine family. Rest In Peace Tara...

The hard-working committee Chairman Billy Purtill (RIP), 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.
