Afternoon all. I'm locating all the clubs in the country and putting their locations on Google Earth/Google maps. I have the vast majority done now over 1600, with just 20 or so left to do. What I'm looking for is the exact location of the clubs pitch.

The following links are to mapping sites, where aerial photographs can be used to pinpoint pitches. They both have a double 6 digit map reference, and this is what I am looking for(centered on pitch)

For Northern Ireland, follow this link HERE
For Rep Ireland, follow this link HERE

The following are the clubs I'm still trying to locate:

Antrim
Henry Joy McCrackens - Falls Park???,
John Mitchels - Pantridge Rd?, Brians Well Rd?, Twinbrook?
Michael Dwyers - Falls Park?, Twinbrook?,
Sean McDermotts - Cherryvale??

Cork
Grange GFC - around Fermoy somewhere, but I can't find it.
Youghal - can't find it.
Dripsey - new club, new pitch?
Ballyphehane GFC - around Tramore Rd?
Rochestown GFC - closer to passage???
Fr O'Callaghans - North side/south side???
Brian Dillons - Murmont Rd/Ave?
Shandun Rovers/Gurranbraher - Any Pitch?

Derry
Coleraine Eoghan Rua - University Pitches or do they have their own now???

Kerry

Just a bump-up, so see if any of the natives (or currently resident) can help out here.
Carlsberg don't do Gombeenocracies, but by jaysus if they did...

Thanks all so far. It's only the ones on the list I need, I have the rest(I think!, including Oisin, thanks anyway Minder!)

Have been doing a search for specific GAA clubs but not getting results. Are they put in yet  ?

Great site by the way when I get to use it properly.

m_the_d

They're on my own PC only, I'm waiting until I get them all. Then I have to figure out how to 'publish' them, I haven't a notion how!

Good work horse ! Be sure to back up all that data and not for it all to disappear into cyberspace.

Great idea.

How do you access the ones you've done for Google Earth so far?
Testing Accessibility

m_the_d

No way to access them yet. Waiting on the last few clubs, so the sooner people can help me the better. There must be someone form the above clubs who use the interent! Below is what my Google Earth looks like. I'm still ironing out a few rough edges, ie: If a club is hurling, football or dual; if there are county sub-divisions, which one they fall into.
