I think that Sarsfields have far and away the best facilities in the county. Every time we go to play our local derby with them there i have to admire all the excellent work they have done with the clubhouse and the pitches. My own clubs facilities are good,but not up to the standards set by Sarsfields.
Other clubs with top class facilities would be Ballyteague, Nurney, Naas, Milltown, Raheens, Kildangan to name a few,but then most clubs have in this county other than a few like Towers, Allenwood, Rathangan and particularly Athy whose facilities (lack of)are a disgrace in my opinion.

I think the new setup in Ballykelly is going to blow a lot of people away when it opens in about 2 months.

i've been down there a couple of times in the last few months and have to say its the best laid out setup in the county. Clubhouse is right in the middle with all 3 pitches surrounding it.

Astroturf pitches beside clubhouse and work has just commenced on phase 2 which will include gym meeting rooms and stores, and all built with zero debt to the club. The latest pics of it are on their website.i haven't seen anything that would come close to it in Kildare in my humble opinion

celbridge main pitch is a favourit

Athy has to be one of the best pitches ever (anywhere) a very through bounce compared to St Conleth which was like playing on a summer bog only more very lifeless.

arewehuman are you joking, athy is terrible

Athy has the worst field in the county..
Its like a mudbath on a wet day.....

He must be, Athy would be ranked as one of the worst in my books along with maynooth, when the weathers dry you'd be better off playing on Tarmac than there. Naas pitch in my view is the best, nice facilities and set up. Celbridge isn't too bad either.

Hey Sexy Bogger Clane are you talking bout looking at it or playing on it although I do admit its as a summer pitch I am referring to

im from athy and think our pitch isnt anywhere near the best in the county

Clanefeen id say most pitchs in the county are like playing on tarmac during a spell of good weather maybe with the exception of Naas, its not like the pitchs are equipped with sprinklers

Athy is way too hard on a dry day, you'll reck urself on that pitch.
Top clubs are naas, leixlip,

Have to disagree, Clanes main pitch has never been like that, nor celbridge or leixlip. Sarsfields is another nice pitch to play on, best set ups at the moment thought are clane and naas

castlemitchell has to be the best pitch in kildare,perfect in rain or sun.celbridge would be a close second...

naas is the nicest lads.. flat, sanded and a good clubhouse! clanes pitch is good but the clubhouse is fairly standard compared to others

Mcloughlin you are right about Sarsfields but I get it hard to believe a Moorefield man would would look in awe at anything from sarsfields

Naas is a fine complex but from a players point of view the pitch is horrendus. Leixlips pitch is one of the best. Rathcoffey has a fine set up aswell.

Naas is without doubt the best..pitches are brilliant and possibly the finest clubhouse and facilities in the country..leixlip pitch is fantastic also
