At last night’s County Board Executive meeting, the Chairman of Mayo County Board Paddy McNicholas expressed his and the boards gratitude towards Michael Ring TD Minister of State for Tourism and Sport for the awarding of funds from the Sports Capital Fund. The Mayo County Board was recently awarded €200,000 in funding from the Sports Capital Fund which will go towards the development of training pitches in Elverys MacHale Park. The Chairman stated: "I on behalf of the board would sincerely like to thank Minister Ring and his cabinet for this much need funding which will go a long way in ensuring that all of our county teams have the best possible training facilities available to them. There is no way we could have re-developed these pitches on our own so this funding is much welcomed and very appreciated."
