Fishguard, Goodwick and communities across north Pembrokeshire are being urged to back a campaign for a modern 4G all-weather sports pitch, led by local Members of the Senedd Paul Davies and Samuel Kurtz.
The project would provide clubs, schools and young people with a reliable, high-quality facility that can be used all year round. Suitable for both football and rugby, from juniors through to seniors, a 4G pitch would also complement the existing astroturf at Ysgol Bro Gwaun, home to the twin town’s successful hockey club.
Local teams say matches and training sessions are regularly cancelled due to waterlogged pitches, limiting opportunities for players and reducing sporting activity across the community.
Paul Davies MS said:
“A 4G pitch would be a major boost for our young people and local clubs. It would improve sporting opportunities and strengthen pride and community spirit across north Pembrokeshire.”
Samuel Kurtz MS added:
“With the weather as it is, too many fixtures are lost due to waterlogged pitches. A 4G pitch would give clubs, schools and youth teams consistent access throughout the year, and could also help Fishguard attract tournaments and visitors, bringing wider economic benefits.”
The Members of the Senedd say the pitch would be an investment in health, wellbeing and youth development, and are urging residents to show their support to help strengthen the case for funding.
Paul Davies added:
“We need as many people as possible to get behind this campaign. Every signature helps show the strength of local support and the need for this facility in Fishguard.”
