June 10th, 2012 marks an historic day in the history of Round Tower GAA Club. This day will mark the 50th anniversary of the opening of our extended home that is now the clubhouse on Convent Road. We’re now delighted to bring you these set of pictures from the opening of the extension on what was an historic day for the parish of Clondalkin. Some of you may recognise the faces and names in the pictures that you can view here: http://www.flickr.com/photos/roundtowers/sets/72157630060292340/.
