LUCAN SARSFIELDS
A super win for our Senior hurlers in the league vs Kilmacud Crokes last week, 8pts down at half time, a remarkable second half performance, to win by 4, 3-20 to 1-22. Junior B footballers went down in a hard fought game to Trinity Gaels, last Thursday the 5th July, the late night training session unfortunately didn’t pay dividend! Jnr B hurlers drew with Peregrines on Monday and Jnr A hurlers had good home win on Tuesday vs NaFianna, 3-16 to 1-14. The 15B hurlers had a good home win v Thomas Davies on Tuesday as well, the win keeps them in contention for promotion.

Club Pitches
During this warm weather people might be wondering how come our pitches are in such good condition Its all down to irrigation and forward planning. The Senior Pitch has 54 sprinter heads with 24 of those buried on the playing surface itself with the remainder around the perimeter of the pitch. A computerised system drives water from a 100,000 litre underground holding tank, with the help of an 11,000 watt motorised pump, to each of these sprinkler heads. This is done through the night. The whole solution was installed by Aquaturf Sultions Ltd. who continue to assist us when needed. Where do we get that volume of water? Several hundred feet underground we have a well, and as the water level in the holding tank drops, a 2.3kw pump refills it from deep underground. This water is untreated and not fit for consumption. We never use treated water from the public system to irrigate pitches. Our juvenile pitch is not so sophisticated with no inbuilt irrigation system. As the drought started to kill off the grass on this pitch we employed some very long hoses and a number of sprinklers which have to be moved around the pitch manually (volunteers always welcome). This manual system uses water from the same holding tank. We are very much now benefitting from the foresight of those that planned and developed our facilities in the past. Our thanks to all the volunteers who maintain the facility to such an impressive standard.
