Michael Davitt GAC are proud to announce that work on our new pitch (in collaboration with Corpus Christie College) and associated facilities started earlier this week.
Throughout our illustrious 105 year history, Michael Davitt GAC has never had 
a pitch that we could really call home but now our dream will soon come true.
It has been a long and arduous journey to get to this stage but the commitment and determination of our club committee, and in particular our chairman Tommy Shaw, to realise our goals never ceased.
With the help of local Sinn Féin councillors, particularly Cllr Ciaran Beattie and Cllr Jim McVeigh, Sinn Féin MLA Fra McCann, our local MP Paul Maskey, Belfast City Council, schools, the local Parish, Diocese, Space & Place, BIFFA and local residents, a barren piece of land that once blighted the area will soon be a state of the art facility, benefiting the whole community. We would like to offer our thanks to you all for your assistance and support. Without you all this project would not have been possible.
Go raibh mÃle maith agaibh.
This £1.5m project will consist of a full size Gaelic pitch complete with spectator stand, changing rooms, hurling wall, 4G training pitch with floodlights, car park, children’s playground, outdoor gym and highway to health walkway/trim trail and should complete in approx 44 weeks.
We welcome the co-operation, understanding and support from the residents of St Marys Gardens over the upcoming weeks.
Finally, we look forward to providing a hub for our beloved sports to the local community and beyond.
