GAA Pitch Information needed

(Oldest Posts First) - Go To The Latest Post


Hello folks. I've been working on putting all club pitches in the country on Google Earth/Google Maps. I have been posting on individual county pages to try and track down the clubs I can't locate. I'm now down to the last few and anyones help would be welcome.

I'm using the OSI mapping websites to locate pitches, as parts of the county are in poor resolution in Google Earth.
For the North I'm using link and link for the rest of the country. The map images are from 2007/2005 so any new pitches may not be on the map, so I'm looking for its location.

The OSI Ireland site needs a login, but it is free, and the UK site is free to browse. Both sites have a double six digit grid reference, and this is what I am looking for(grid centered on the pitch for North, mouse Pointer for the Rest). The following clubs/pitches I have yet to locate, I have possible locations for some.

Antrim
Ardoyne Kickhams - Falls Park???, Clifonville Road???, Mallusk(not sure where that is)???,
Ballymoney - ???,

not certain of this but i would imagine Michael Dwyers is in Falls Park, i know their clubhouse is on a side street just of the Falls Road, couldnt imagine it would be so far away from twinbrook (2-3 miles)
