A new 9-a-side astroturf opened this week at the Finn Valley Centre in Stranorlar.

The new pitch compliments the 2 existing 5-a-side pitches.

Finn Harps manager Ollie Horgan performed the official opening of the facility.

Contractors William Coyle of Pitch Dimensions and David Boal of SIS Pitches attended with Finn Valley board members

Finn Valley now can offer a new opportunity, particularly to teams, and the uptake should be positive.

Club chair Patsy McGonagle complimented the quality of the work and noted that Finn Valley AC had generated the cost through their own efforts – a total of €80k approximately, under the guidance of Neil Martin, the Finance Director at the Centre .

Additionally work was carried out to the surrounds at the track to enable the club host county and ulster cross-country on a regular basis.
