Seán MacCumhaills have confirmed that major upgrade works on the main pitch will officially begin this week.

The Twin Towns club will be playing their matches at the Donegal GAA Centre in Convoy, with no exact time frame announced for when the pitch will be reopened.

"This project marks a significant investment in the club’s facilities, aiming to provide a top-quality playing surface for teams at all levels. The upgrade is being made possible through the club’s successful grant applications and continued fundraising efforts.


"Club officials have asked all members and visiting teams to note that the main pitch is now closed to training and matches during this period and that Seán MacCumhaills will be utilising the Centre of Excellence in Convoy for their home games. Updates on progress and reopening dates will be shared in due course.
