WIcklow GAA Club To Benefit From Funding Boost

Wicklow’s Valleymount LGFA Club is to receive €5,000 funding under this year’s Texaco Support for Sport initiative

Under the scheme – similar to that which proved successful last year when the Wicklow county award was presented to Roundwood and District Athletic Club – a fund of €130,000 is made available by Valero for distribution in equal amounts of €5,000 to a successful applicant in each
county.

Amongst the community in West Wicklow, the Valleymount LGFA club has an important role to play most notably in providing a sporting outlet for young girls and for the advancement of ladies’ football.

This year, the club marks a quarter of a century since its ladies team was first established.

The award made to it under the Texaco Support for Sport initiative will be invested in coaches and equipment to help keep the club operational following some challenging years during the pandemic.
