4G All-Weather Rugby Facility

“ Planning Permission Application for Lights at Willie Duggan Park lodged ………………….”

Many of you attended the Union Centenary Annual Dinner (370 attendees) in Rockwell on 3rd May last and will have seen the new “ Willie Duggan Park “ all-weather rugby facility –Feedback from past pupils who viewed the new facility were extremely positive and it is undoubtedly a welcome addition to the facilities in the College.

You are also probably aware, the cost of the all-weather facility (Phase 1) was €650,000 and this was funded entirely by donations from Past Pupils and Rockwell College Union. We are now focused on Phase 2 (The Lights) and as at 30th June we have received donations of €73,000. The target €100,000 for the Lights (Phase 2) is now well within reach. The College lodged planning application for the Lights end June and we plan to install the Lights in October, subject to planning being obtained and balance €27,000 raised. With response from Past Pupils to date, we are confident the o/s €27,000 will be forthcoming.

As soon as we reach the target, the fund raising will cease immediately and the graphics for the “ Union Wall “ including each Donors Name & Class Yr will be finalised and up on the Wall. The Wall physically is already constructed and in-situ at the entrance to “ Willie Duggan Park “. Time is running out now if you wish to join your classmates in supporting Rockwell College and be acknowledged on the Union Wall.
