Have to admit - if they can make the pitch in Newry playable in basically all conditions these days - what excuse does Omagh have?

It's a bog. Common knowledge that Dungannon is a much better venue.

Yeah. It is in a bog. But Newry is half in the sea and the other half in the canal.

Is the Healy Park pitch not above the level of the Killybrack road?

I'm not seeing a fundamental reason why it can't be drained.

I think the Tyrone board need to let Prunty have a look at it.

It's an awful place anyway. Big huge ground no atmosphere. You'll find Tyrone supporters prefer Dungannon. Is revamped and was great this year. Actually got the Intermediate final. Used to host senior county championship and senior county finals. God be with the days

What about Edendork?

Is Lurgan not  suitable these days for county or Ulster club  games? What's  going on there?

[Newbridge Exile]

I see Cahair O'Kane has tweeted that Dungannon Newry and Ballybofey pitches are all closed.

Lost the Cork final. Should have lost the semifinal.

[Champion The Wonder Horse]

Was out all day, recorded the game and avoided all social media and other possible sources hoping to watch the match as live.

That was a bit shite.

There is quite a fundamental reason why Omagh cant be drained and its the lack of an outfall for the drainage.

There was a proposed project to rectify the issue that had approval to proceed but Covid intervened and the project was mothballed. It included a full reconstruction of the pitch and the construction of a pumping station to deal with the storm outfall.

The pitch in Omagh has actually been fairly decent over the last couple of years but the scheduling of a double header was questionable in late November. McQuillan made the correct call to abandon but the wrong call to start the game. Both goal mouths were in poor shape but a fairly large square of approx 30m x 30m at the town end of the pitch was unplayable, it was fairly obvious in the first half that Newbridge were trying to avoid using it.

Regarding the call to use Dungannon, it is closed and was probably overused this year for games.

He didn't even check the pitch before the game. Scotstown manager asked him this after the game and be replied "No"

That's their issue with it. He decided to start the game without checking then decided at half time ..

A farce and arrogance

I'm not 100% saying you're wrong about the drainage and it's probably info someone has told you but I doubt very much that's the issue. Omagh pitch is high up the Gortin road and all the storm water runs down the Gortin Road and turns into Strathroy Road where it's discharged into a Watercourse down that road so gravity is not the problem and will not need  pumped. From an Engineering perspective and I've designed quite a few pitches I'd say the problem lies with the old drainage system not being adequate or has not been maintained and is clogged up with silt etc and water is not getting away. From memory that pitch was always heavy and they've had issues with it for years, i'd hazzard a guess and say the top soil is very dense and too much clay which slows the percolation of the water to get to the drainage below. The pitch probably needs relaid with better cambers and crossfalls with an upgrade to the topsoil too, for heavy pitches you can introudce sand slits/gravel bands and also a grit layer under the topsoil depending on how much money you have to spend.
