Castle Irwell Student Village
Please note that the University of Salford’s Student Union no longer manage the facilities at Castle Irwell. The site is now managed by the University authorities. As a result of this change, the facility will not be open until 09:30am and should close at 12:30pm. This means that nets and corner flags will need to be erected on arrival and games will need to kick off on time. Any delay in the kick off will mean that playing time may have to be reduced in order to stay within this time frame. Please contact Colin McLaren if you have any queries regarding this arrangement.
