Football pitch makeover

REPLACING turf at Nijar’s football ground has turned into extensive renovations.

An inspection of the pitch revealed leaks in the irrigation network and it was decided to replace this as well as the turf.  The project was put out to tender with a winning bid of €23,000 that was 20 per cent below the stipulated costing.

The area bordering the pitch will be cleared of weeds and improvements made to the dressing rooms and hot water supply.

It is now hoped that following the revamp, Nijar’s Club Comarca will take over maintenance in exchange for its use, the town hall revealed.
