I must say i was very impressed with the work Murroe have done on the far pitch. Both the pitches where awful before but now one of them is flat as a pancake.
The best pitches i have played on in the lower leagues have been Newport, Coonagh, Killmallock, Charleville, Dromore, Murroe, Weston (in Hogan Park), Aisling, Granville. Some of them depend on the weather conditions but most hold up very well.
