Tallaght Stadium wins Airtricity League Pitch of the Year

South Dublin County Council is delighted to announce that Tallaght Stadium has won the 2010 Airtricity League Pitch of the Year award, following an inspection by the Irish Institute of Sports Surfaces (IISS).

The winner of the award was announced after the IISS visited Tallaght Stadium and Turner's Cross, which was also shortlisted for the award, following nominations by the Airtricity League referees and players, in association with the Professional Footballers’ Association of Ireland.

Mayor of South Dublin County Council, Cllr. Eamonn Maloney said ‘This award is a reflection of the Council’s determination to place the condition of the playing surface at the top of its list of priorities at Tallaght Stadium, but most of all is a tribute to the staff in Tallaght Stadium and the Council’s Parks and Community Services Departments.

The award will be presented at half time during the FAI Ford Cup final at Aviva Stadium on November 14th.
