SPORTS clubs all over Cork are set to benefit from a €150 million package of new capital grants from the Sports Capital and Equipment Programme (SCEP).
A total of €144m has been allocated to almost 1,900 applications nationally with the other €6m kept in reserve for successful appeals.
The biggest payouts in Rebel county are going to Bandon Athletic Club (€290,000), for a new track and field facility, Cobh Ramblers (€300,000) and the Cork Rugby Stadium Designated Activity Company, which looks after Musgrave Park, with €300,000 to upgrade the floodlighting at the venue.
That's a common thread to the successful clubs in Cork city and county, with many improving or installing floodlights, or upgrading pitch surfaces through drainage or laying astro-turf pitches. With growing underage numbers in most areas and the expansion of female sport, there's more demand than ever on providing accessible facilities all year round.
In a Cobh Ramblers statement they said: "We thank Government ministers Catherine Martin TD and Jack Chambers TD, and all who have supported us locally, in particular James O’Connor TD and Simon Coveney TD. We also wish to thank Walter Holleran and the FAI for their assistance.
"The awarding of this grant is a testament to the progress that we have made as a club and will continue to make going forward. It is also a huge recognition of football in Cobh and in the Cork region."
Rowing in Cork features prominently in the list, including €70,079 for work on the National Rowing Centre in Farran and €66,000 for a new gym at Skibbereen Rowing Club, a production line of Olympians.
Laochra Óg, Cork's newest GAA club that offers hurling and camogie teams to players in the Macroom and west Muskerry region, €135,107 will go towards pitch development.
Down in Carrigaline, the GAA club (€150,000), rugby club (€149,000), tennis club (€54,192) and the soccer club (€59,687) all received grants.
Cork North Central deputy Colm Burke welcomed the news: “Over €3 million has been received by clubs and organisations in Cork North Central.
"Cork North Central has a rich sporting history, and it has special importance to us. This funding will help our communities continue to thrive and grow. Parishes such as Inniscarra, have received large funding in addition to the funding provided for city organisations."
