Mucklagh Soccer Club needs your support , support that can & will help turn the dreams of a home for the club into a reality.

Back in February 2020 , we purchased 12 acres of land in Screggan, a permanent home for the club to  flourish further .Plans have been drawn up for this new venture to begin with Phase 1 development , of playing pitches and toilet facilities . We are aiming to raise a minimum of €35,000 to aid with this first phase of progress. The constraints of Covid 19 restrictions have severely hampered all our annual fundraisers , so we are asking you, our members, supporters, parents, neighbours and friends, to help in any way you can. Any donation you make will be greatly appreciated by our Schoolboys & Girls members , CCFL members, and hopefully the senior teams of the future. 

Despite the global pandemic , the committee have continued to work and make plans behind the scenes ( and Zoom screens), to make this future a reality. While the day to day realities of running the club ,mortgage repayments , insurance policies, weekly lotto etc have continued , we have also commenced an application for Sports Capital Grant funding , to assist with phased development. An application for Sports Capital grant requires clubs to have 'matching funding' ,for that application to achieve its maximum potential. This matching funding is a percentage of overall phased project costs. We are acutely aware of the effects Covid 19 is having on us all , physically, mentally and financially , and will be most grateful for any donation you feel you can make toward this development. Remember ....pennies make pounds !

Since the establishment of the club in 2005, the Rev David Hutton Bury and his family have graciously provided us with grounds in the beautiful Charleville Estate. This club will be forever endebted to the Hutton Bury family for the continued support they have shown towards us , & the promotion of youth sports in the area. Over the years , many amazing memories have been made .Trips to soccer tournaments in Scotland and Wales , All Ireland Community Games titles won , League & Cup titles were battled for , Club of the year awards won , and most recently, the FAI Club Mark award achieved in September 2019. 
But more memories are waiting to be made , and with your help , we can take the first steps towards this. The phased development of these new facilities will benefit us all,our members and community combined, providing all with a home for football that we can be proud of for generations to come .
"Will it be easy ? - Nope 
  Will it be worth it ? - Absolutely" 


The committee of Mucklagh Schoolboys/ Girls Community Soccer Club CLG thank you for any donation you can make , and we look forward , with determination,to all this exciting venture will bring.
