Inishowen Rugby Club could have Field of Dreams Come True

Inishowen Rugby Club have asked for your help in order to win a whopping €100,000 toward ground development. The club have qualified as Ulster representatives in the Kellog's 'Field of Dreams' competition and are in the final four having already secured €10,000 toward club development. They now participate in a public vote and this is where their friends and fans come in. Brian McNally of IRFC said: "We need people to vote for us every day between now and 28th October. It would mean so much to the club."

RTE sports personality Tracy Piggott has been assigned as ambassador to the Carndonagh based club. It is hoped she can attract support from the wider Irish public.

The deciding criteria in the competition was: What shape is the field in: How would this field's make-over help community: How would this field's make-over impact on sport: How often is the field used month/year: What team and sports use the field: Community/team effort: What is the current maintenance plan: Other relevant qualities.

The four finalists are Danesfort GAA in Kilkenny (Leinster finalists), Glengarrif GAA in Cork (Munster finalists), Kilglass Gaels GAA in Roscommon (Connaught finalists) and Inishowen Rugby Club.

Members of the public can log onto the Kellogg's Field of Dreams website www.kelloggs.ie/fieldofdreams to register their vote. The club with the most votes will be announced as the grand prize winner of a €100,000 pitch make-over in a special broadcast during RTE1s Late Late Show in October this year.
