It was a red letter day for the staff and pupils of Granard s Sacred Heart Primary School last Wednesday as it took the wrappers off a new, state of the art astro turf pitch.
The grand unveiling on a project in excess of €150,000 set the seal on a near ten year project after a five acre sized field was donated under the auspices of the St. Mel’s Diocesan Trust from the Sisters of Mercy.
