Cllr Ed O’Brien Mayor of South Dublin Launches the SDCC Bookapitch App at County Hall with Fiona Hendley (SDCC), Michael McAdam (SDCC Senior Executive Officer), Teresa Walsh (SDCC Director of Service) and Craig Bewley from Bookapitch.

Mayor of South Dublin County Council Ed O’Brien today officially launched the new online Pitch Allocation and Booking System.

In a statement, the local authority said: “South Dublin County Council are excited to announce that all pitches will be available to book online through the South Dublin County Council’s website www.sdcc.ie/bookapitch with booking software provided by Dublin-based sports facility management software, Bookapitch.

“This new technology will make the annual pitch allocation and booking process, easy to use, and accessible to all clubs who wish to avail of South Dublin County Council pitches.”

Following the launch, Mayor O’Brien said: “The new easy to use online booking system has streamlined the allocation process for sports clubs and has the potential to inform how the pitch maintenance programme is delivered across the County.”

Clubs will be invited to register online and submit their annual application forms through the new system which has streamlined the process.

Clubs will be issued a link to their allocated pitch allowing them to book time slots within their own club for the various team games throughout the season.

Pitch usage data collected from the system will help inform South Dublin County Council’s pitch maintenance schedule and capital investment programme.

With this new online pitch allocation and booking system, South Dublin County Council looks forward to making outdoor exercise more accessible for everyone.
