Back in May, Ballygar moved to a phenomenal new development for the use of four clubs (Ballygar Hurling, St Brendan's GFC, St Brendan's LGFC and Ballygar Camogie) in May 2016.
New development PRO Brian Healy detailed for SportsJOE.ie the work that went into making the new facilities among the best in Galway.
"This new development project took many years of hard work, dedication & fundraising to achieve by all with the reward being what is widely described as one of the best playing surfaces around," said Healy.
"The clubs are very grateful to all who have contributed to these efforts and supported it through the development stages, and we all look forward to many enjoyable and successful years ahead for the clubs, their players & many supporters."
