Official grounds opening
May 17, 2012Over the course of the weekend, a number of activities will take place to mark the opening of the pitch named in the honour of the late Tyrone footballer Cormac McAnallen.
Kieran Hagan, Eglish St. Patrick's G.A.C. Chairman told www.tyronegaa.ie: "We have been working on this project for the past seven years. This is a true example of hard work, commitment and volunteerism; fundamentals that are at the heart of GAA. The land was purchased back in 2005. With the help and dedication of so many great Gaels within our community we have finally reached this day.
"We see this as a lasting tribute to honour the name of Eglish's greatest GAA player Cormac McAnallen. There is still plenty of work to be done. Apart from the pitch there is work being done on car parking at the moment. In time we will erect changing facilities and amenities so there is still more to do but we are delighted to be at this stage". Tweet
