The Board of Directors at Kilkenny College have lodged an application with Kilkenny County Council seeking permission for the construction of a full-size all-weather rugby astro pitch and training area.

At present, the application is awaiting validation from the planning authority.

Once validated, a decision will be due by May 5, 2026.

Teams take part in the premier sections of the Leinster Senior and Junior Cup and League Competitions enjoying considerable success.
