MDL & NECSL to develop Meath’s first full sized All Weather Pitch.

The MDL in conjunction with the NECSL are putting forward a joint application to the Department of Sport in the latest announcement of Sports Capital Grants. The purpose of the application shall be a proposal to install a full size ‘FIFA’ one star synthetic all Weather pitch at the MDL grounds in Navan. Despite the massive growth of the game within the County over the last ten years at all levels. There is currently no suchlike facility available for servicing association football activities. The GAA turn a blind eye to the flaunting of their own rules whereby a number of their member Clubs allow usage by Soccer Clubs and groups of small sided All Weather Pitches, but there appears to be a different approach to making available full sized pitches for similar type use. The granting of the maximum assistance is vital for this facility
