The eagerly awaited Balbriggan Beach Festival, organised by the Fingal Sports Office, is set to return for its 3rd consecutive year on Sunday, August 20th 2023 from 10:00 AM to 6:00 PM. The festival will take place at the picturesque Balbriggan Beach, providing a perfect amalgamation of sports, sun, and family-friendly activities.

The Fingal Sports Office and the FAI have been actively working together to inspire the future generation of Fingal footballers in recent weeks. Support from Swords Pavilions will allow this event to showcase the growing interest among girls across Fingal who are eager to play The Beautiful Game. For many of these young girls, it may be the first time they proudly don their grassroots club jersey, with the potential to follow in the footsteps of local Fingallian World Cup heroes such as Diane Caldwell (formerly of Balbriggan FC), Izzy Atkinson (formerly of Rush Athletic), and Jamie Finn (formerly of Swords Manor).

A new Labour councillor was officially co-opted onto Fingal County Council today, as Cllr Brendan Ryan filled the seat left vacant by the resignation of Seána Ó Rodaigh. Cllr Ryan will represent the Balbriggan Local Electoral Area.
