It's on the county twitter.

Anyone up for calling the Junior and Intermediate finals?

looks really good. should be matches there next year now by the looks of it.

Minor final set for before the senior final. will be a dent to the footballers who play in the intermediate final on the saturday. will take at least 3 of them out of contention to play some part in it which is a pity for them.

Minor only comes round a couple of years once you're past that age you'll never get a chance again... Intermediate senior are available for a lot longer!!

Looking at the pics there of Dunsilly it doesn't show an awful lot of parking, anyone wise to the area know if it'd be fit for the county final?

At the moment no it certainly wouldn't be and I don't know if there are plans for a stand or terracing of some description. Without it a final would be out of the question.

Parking also is an issue there wouldn't be near enough currently and the alternatives would be junction one or the hotel carpark unless they can rent a field for the day. However wouldn't hold out much hope for much accommodation in the locality.

Was it intended to be any more than a training facility?

[Two Hands FFS]

I don't think it was intended to hold club championship matches. Sure was there not problems with access as well.
I can't see a stand ever been built..especially with Casement in the pipeline (2022 maybe )

You can see there was no real thought given to the potential chance of Dunsilly becoming our Owenbeg.

Looks to be a training facility only

Let's get it up and running and see what happens..... There is a lot of space around that area surely which could be bought and used ??

Going by what the council put them through with phase one I doubt there would be much appetite to go there again.

Yes it was always intended to be solely a training facility so probably no consideration was given to club games or County games for that matter.

Be handier going to Glenravel as there

aw i know lad, we dont get to many football finals around our parts though and have only won 2 in near 40 years. That being said they have to play their own grade first so the hurling will take prime spot that weekend.
