From as early as 2006, Mr Joseph Johnston, former principal of LJHS forged links with many of these same sporting bodies to ensure the realisation of the 3G pitches on the Toberhewney site and Glenavon Academy regularly use these pitches to develop the skills and attributes of the young people from Lurgan and surrounding areas.
