Waterford have spent six years trying to achieve their goal
Waterford will become one of the few women s GAA teams in the country to own their own pitch outright when a new facility is built in Dungarvan.
The 11-acre site is perched beside the picturesque Waterford Greenway, and is the result of six years of behind-the-scenes graft.
Waterford s breakthrough comes just over a year after Armagh ladies got the green light to develop a ground at McKeever Park in Killeen, while Cork s Camogie Grounds in Mahon was opened back in 2012.
Speaking to RTÉ s Morning Ireland Edel Curry of the Waterford Ladies Gaelic Football Association detailed their journey to achieving a long-held ambition, airing her hope it will serve players in the county for generations.
