i'm surprised eglish hasn't been mentioned here! they've got a good big pitch with floodlights and very good changing facilities with a big gym and sports hall, i can name quite a few clubs eglish has better facilities than that you have all mentioned as being in the 'top 5'. for example edendork, augher, kildress, pomeroy, urney, drumragh etc....

Have to say Strabane have one of the best facilites at the moment massive car park but needs tarmac full size floodlight pitch sand carpet and they have a new sand carpet pitch to be played on this season in intermediate football. Also Urney have a great pitch although no warm up area yet but great club rooms.

I know some might laugh but castledergs pitch is one of the best playing surfaces iv seen in a longtime,although the changing rooms are not in place yet it shouldnt take long, its in a great location and has plenty of room around it for further development, by no means a good ground at the minute but certainly one for the future, plus considering we had the worst pitch in the county for many years it is a true credit to the former committe in our club for their hard work over the years to bring such facilities to our town!

Coalisland is actually a good pitch! May not be great for parking but other than that!!

No bother harps_boi sure thats what friends are for.... But you will admitt stewartstown arnt the best youth theam but at grade 3/4 they are the best! The record speeks for its self
in this past 3 years...
1 13 league
3 u'14 doubles
1 u'16 final
1 minor championship and league yet to be played!
and when in grade 2 u'16s this year they held there own rightly!

But yous have good clubhouse (well better than the last one) but pitch and car parking is horrible!

Dunmoyle - everything good but the signposts
Omagh - pitch letting it down a bit
Donaghmore - New facilities costing 2 -3 mill. in progress Good view of pitch, but deadly soft to play
Carrickmore - Heard new changing rooms planned, currently only let down, pitch in great nick now.
Clonoe, facilites really good, but made us and reserves change in same room (astro turf goals???)
Coalisland - could do with a stand.
Edendork - great pitch rest shocking
Derrytresk- Amazing pitch and amazing clubhosue bt needs a stand for it, but one of the best (astro turf goals and penalty spot)
kildress- good pitch
stewartsown-worst pitch and the clubhuse ok, pitch is awful worst in tyrone probably ad the catch nets

i agree ballbhoy, but wer developing them soon, wer aiming for a new pitch and tarmac ground along ith more car parking space in 3 years time hopefully!

Galballys pitch is excellent, even in wet weather its stayed in top shape.

and our U-16s soulda won something in grade 2, real disapointing, i think i seen them play to their potential about 3 times this year, and when they did they wer unstopable, example hammering Naomh Whuire, but they got very big headed and thoght they wer too good to be playing some teams and that was their downfall.

Newtownstewart, Beragh, Carrickmore, Loughmacrory and the Coalisland pitch. Moy pitch isn't bad along with Donaghmore and Derrytresk have a good playing surface but what else? Eoin Roes also up there with the best facilities.

dunmoyle is a great pitch and a great new clubhouse but the location is a disaster, bad roads but other than that top class.
omagh for their faclities mainly, pitch could and should be better.
louchmcrory great new field.
fintona very good facilities, nice wee pitch and is able to hold a good crowd

Ive played on manys a pitch in my time, dont think anybodys mentioned it yet but killymans as good a playin surface as there is in the county. Facilities are probably adequate at best but the field is a class surface.

A lot of clubs have got excellent facilities compared to the standard of fields and facilties 10-12 years ago.
Its a credit to all clubs who try to excell.

It must be said that he ome cubs in the lower divisions have excellent grounds.

Fintona, derrytresk strabane.

In the intermediate division tattyreagh facilities were an excellent suprise with pitch, parking, changing facilties and club house.

I the senior division all clubs have a great standard bu the best pitch for championship games in yrone is indeed Fintona for parking, facilities, access, plying surface, club rooms and creating an atmosphere.

dunmoyle pitch in pretty good shape
carrickmore hae the best stands and setup but not pitch
trillick have a great playing surface but maybe not the best setup although similar to dunmoyle.
fintone probably are the best of both although the surface is not quite as good as dunmoyle or trillick
