Athboy Celtic FC is heartbroken by the situation facing our club and the wider community.

Over the past number of months, our parents, players, volunteers, local businesses and families have worked tirelessly, giving up their time, energy and hard-earned money to help build a new, full-size, floodlit astro pitch at Cow Park in Athboy.

This was never just about football. It was about creating a facility for our children, our young people and future generations — a place to play, grow, build friendships and bring our community together for years to come.

Sadly, following the liquidation of our contractor, Athboy Celtic is facing a financial loss of just over €150,000. We are actively pursuing every appropriate avenue to recoup these funds and are exploring every possible option to keep our pitch project alive.

Behind this money are countless hours of hard work, personal sacrifices and donations from ordinary people who gave what they could because they believed in our vision.

It is devastating to think that money raised from the pockets of our families and community could be lost, through no fault of the people who worked so hard to raise it.

We are appealing to people across Meath and throughout Ireland to stand with Athboy Celtic at this incredibly difficult time.

Every donation, no matter how small, and every share could help us overcome this setback and bring us closer to completing the facility our community deserves.

If you cannot donate, please share this appeal. Your support could help us reach someone who can make a difference.

Our community came together to build this dream. Now, we need that community spirit more than ever.

For our children. For our community. For the future of Athboy Celtic. ⚽

Thank you to everyone who has supported us and to everyone who can help us now.
