Weather prevented play today. Six players were on site but we decided a coffee in Olive's Room was the better option.
The photos tell the story. Piste 1 and 2 are regularly inundated as the drainage is non-existent in the compacted surface.
We have three more competition dates before Christmas. Hopefully the weather will oblige.
Some of our Wednesday Boules group joined the throngs objecting to the proposed development
on former St. Anne's parkland which had stipulations when sold to the religious order that it was to be used for educational and sporting purposes.
The Vincentian Fathers sold six hectares (15 acres) at the north-west end of the park for a reported €17 million in November 2015.
The land had once been part of the St Anne’s Estate owned by the Guinness family and was acquired by compulsory purchase order by Dublin Corporation in the 1940s.
The council later sold a portion of the land to the Vincentian Fathers to be used as playing pitches for St Paul’s College.
The land [is currently still] used for pitches and [is also being[ used by local sports clubs in the area including Clontarf GAA Club and Clontarf FC. Both clubs oppose the proposed development.
