what's the status of the pitch/grounds?
The pitch and grounds are still in pretty reasonable shape for considering the lack of (no) activity there anymore. The odd night the floodlights are turned on but I guess it's just routine checks to see if everything is working still.
It's a great shame that the local junior competition finals aren't played there - there's benefit to both the grounds owners (exposure, extra bodies for maintenance) and the KDL to play them there (far more attraction than current venue to players imo).
But with the K&DL having invested greatly in their own pitches (about 200 yards away) there's not much hope of the grounds being used for that purpose - which is a shame as I've dreamed of scoring in Buckley Park since standing behind the goals as a kid.
I saw a game being played there new years eve - well I was on a bus passing the ground and someone was playing what looked like an official game there
Was past it last week myself and still looks in good nick.
The army play their inter barracks comps there still I think. They were the last official match I was at there in 2010.
Are freebooters playing schoolboy league games there?
Any Kilkenny supporters out there know if the club today has any involvement in underage football? Surely a revival such as Cobh's could materialise at some stage?
