The Tyrone county board has unveiled plans to develop a new multi-million euro training complex for its county teams at Garvaghy, which is situated between Dungannon and Omagh. At least six pitches will be developed on the 30-acre site, while the county's administrative centre will also relocate to a purpose-built facility on the site. Planning permission has been secured and the entire project will cost around EUR8 million, with the target date for getting the complex ready for use set for 2013. One of the pitches will have an all-weather surface, which will cost around EUR1.3 million. Tyrone's eight county football and hurling squads, as well as ladies and camogie teams, will use the complex. It will also be made available to schools and colleges for matches. "It will be an integrated centre for all our county teams," explained Tyrone chairman Pat Darcy. "It will be a tremendous boost because for the first time ever, our county teams will have their own facilities for training and for playing matches." Tweet
