Tonight marks the end of another playing season here at the Markets Field, a ground where sport has been played since 1883, 141 years. This year we have hosted almost 80 hours of play on a surface that has been loudly complimented by all that play on it. The pitch is a credit to John McNamara, Steven Daly and Eddie Pickford who work day in an out in all weathers to ensure it is in perfect condition. Nick Grene and his team oversee the major work and provide great advice when needed. A big thank you to all.

Great to support our neighbours in St John’s Girls and infant boys school for active schools week in their teachers and students soccer game.. the noise levels were fantastic … Well done all

As the hail falls on 30th April, we say goodbye April your weather flattered to deceive .. here’s to May

Our colleagues in the head office are working with Limerick Museum in this interesting project … if you or anyone you know worked in Krups please let them know

Memorabilia sought for Krups Exhibition!

Limerick Enterprise Development Partnership (LEDP), in partnership with Limerick Museum, are co-ordinating a public appeal for past employees of Krups and their families to share stories, artefacts and memorabilia from their time working for the engineering firm.

We will be holding 3 Open Days at the LEDP (the site of the old Krups Factory) from the 9-11 April 2024 - from 10.30am to 3pm each day.

The memorabilia will be curated by the Limerick Museum and presented in a Krups Exhibition in September to mark the closure of the famous factory and subsequent creation of LEDP, 25 years on.

If you or anyone you know, have memories or memorabilia to share - please stop by!
