Blessington AFC held a 4km walk around the town of Blessington today as part of the club’s “Always Away From Home” campaign which highlights the club’s search for playing pitches in Blessington, Co. Wicklow.

The club was founded in 1968 and after 54 years, continue to play their home games away from home in Crosschapel, Co. Kildare, as tenants to Roadstone. Our search for playing pitches in our hometown bears witness to the success of the club outgrowing its current Co. Kildare location due to our membership growth to over 650 members. Blessington AFC’s Co. Kildare location is unsuitable for many reasons, such as the fact the club cannot apply for Sports Capital Grants for capital development of the site such as installation of an all-weather pitch, and erection of floodlighting etc. It is also unsuitable given its location 4km outside the town of Blessington with the only access being via the busy N81 which makes the location inaccessible by foot or bicycle for the vast majority of our players and families.

Blessington AFC is working closely with Baltinglass Municipal District council and Wicklow TDs to acquire pitches so that our club can continue to grow and provide local access for our members in Blessington. The huge turnout today demonstrates Blessington AFC’s drive to play a home game in our town of Blessington Co Wicklow.

Thanks to everyone who helped organise and to Martin for the Fire Engine and to Alan Bruce who as always captures the heart of everything Blessington’s AFC is about

“Together Everyone Achieves More”
As part of the football club's "Always Away From Home" campaign to highlight the lack of training or playing facilities for the club in the town of Blessington, we have decided to have a walk around the town on Saturday October 22nd, meeting at 15:15 at the Community College, walk starting at 15:30.

We will walk the ring road, a 4km walk, the distance our members have to travel to play football. We would appreciate if all members could get involved along with family and friends to make as much noise as possible, it's been 54 years with Blessington AFC "Always Away From Home".

Let's wear the green of Blessington AFC and let's make some noise. We need football pitches in Blessington, our home, 54 years is too far too long to wait to play a home game.

Well today 16th May our U/11 squad completed their charity ‘Dribblathon’ in aid of Temple Street Children’s Hospital.👏👏. Well done to all the players who took part and to the coaches for organising.

26 of the squad’s players took part in what was a ‘virtual relay’ when (in their own garden or estate green) each player had to dribble 10 laps of a 25m. square before passing the ‘virtual baton’ on to their nearest teammate.

The idea for this fundraiser came from our grassroots partners St. Ita's AFC from Portrane/Donabate who set us the challenge.

Thanks to everyone who donated so generously. Our U/11’s have raised a fantastic €1220.
