Garda Westmanstown Gaels will celebrate its centenary next year. The club is building a Ball Wall.

Jim Gavin used to manage at the club. George Kyne dips into Jim’s pocket dictionary. “We want to help our players be the best they can be,” states George.

“And we deeply appreciate the support we have received for the Ball Wall from An Garda Síochána, our membership, and the business community of Lucan, Clonsilla and Ongar. Our view is that we are building our future together.”

Plans are well advanced for the project. The new structure will enhance the excellent ground, where Jerome Twomey’s contribution will live on forever.

“Next year is a special year for us. Hurling and camogie at juvenile level is going strong and we have now formed a sub-committee to have adult hurling and adult camogie in place to provide a pathway for our young players,” explains George.

Dublin’s Philly McMahon is backing the club. He sent them an online message. “I was very lucky to have the flats to kick the ball off when I was growing up. It’s massive for clubs to have a wall to practice their skills and have fun.”

The club has three ways for people to help them build the wall. A brick costs €100. Corporate sponsorship is €1,000. And there is the option of a ten-year naming rights agreement.
