GAA Club Astro turf facilities

[Franno]

After seeing so many games today played on Astro 3g or 4g pitches, it is quiet alarming that we don't have 1 full sized Astro in Cork. Limerick have one in UL and Waterford have one in WIT. Laois played on one today abs it is in a secondary school.
In cork, a lot of clubs seem to be building these small Astro pitches about 40m in length.
Clubs that have reasonable sized (bigger than 80m in length) Astro turf facilities, in my recollection are:
Carrigtwohill (Community grounds, not specific GAA)
Sars
Na Piarsaigh
St Finbarrs
Eire og
Clonakilty
Mallow.

Is there any other reasonably sized facilities?
Nemo recently downsized their pitch I think

Clondrohid is similar size to Eire Og. There must be more.

 

[BoggyRoad]

Cloughduv I think have one

Cloughduv I think have one

Been there to watch games and they don't. Possibly have a small indoor astro facility.

 

[BoggyRoad]

There is one indoors but don't remember what size it is

Nemo downsized it because the back of it is after sinking...

A few Dublin clubs have full sized ones, they have serious facilities up there

 

[Franno]

One of the club coaches said they have 10 full size now up there.

I've played on at least 5 in Dublin. They are great facilities but the clubs seem obsessed with making them huge. Some of them are bugger than the Croke Park pitch. For underage and junior players like myself there's too much space!
