worst pitches in Kildare

1. Back pitch in Clane
2. Towers
3.Athy

I don't think clane would be too worried about their back pitch being bad as most back pitches are bad in all fairness their first pitch is very good..athy's surface looked very good at the schools match recently also..they have a new back pitch to play football this time of year on..

haha brilliant thread...have to start jogging the memory now.

before Moorefield had the works done a few years ago they definitely would have been a shout. Think most clubs in all fairness have fairly decent facilities these days. you do get the few boggy pitches like Milltown which are tough on the legs when its wet.

Best pitches are easier
Sarsfields, Laurences, Kilcullen, Two Mile House, Clane...

have to disagree with you there millhouse athy pitch is grand and wingback two mile houses pitch ain`t great but the worst for me has to be cappagh. the best sarsfields.

M A Y N O O T H !

You're right Maynooth's is horrific. Dirty hill on Rathangan's aswell

Best:
1. Raheens
2. Leixlip
3. Larries main pitch

Worst pitchs:
Robertstown (smallest pitch in Ireland)
Raheens (the astro goal mouths)
Kevins ( In the rain)

Sarsfields
Ballykelly (from what I've heard)
Ballyteague

worst pitches:
sallins, clane (back), maynooth.

Best pitches:
naas, ballykelly, leixlip, celbridge.

some very contrasting opinions here esp raheens some people have it down as one of the worst pitches and others have it down as one of the best i would rate it as a goodish pitch but not one of the best.

worst pitchs:
cappagh for def is the worst don`t know how anyone else hasn`t picked it
suncroft
rheban


best pitchs:
sarsfields
leixlip
kilcullen

Lads Castledermot is a field with goalposts!!
KIlcock has stupid astroturf lines on it that have worn away to leave the 14, 21 and goalmouth a deathtrap.
moorefield and castlemitchell are not bad pitched but the wind is whoooore!
kill is also sloping at a horrible angle

Have to say we have good quality pitches (Weather permitting) apart from that

Confey's pitch has always been a poor enough surface.

Castledermot, Towers Robertstown Reban & Suncroft You cant complain about a back pitch

How about the best and worst dressing rooms .........
best....clane and naas
worst...suncroft with county grounds not far behind

Best: Raheens
Worst: Kill

Best Pitches: Johnstownbridge, Straffan, Sarsfields
Worst Pitches: Kill, Castledermot, suncroft

Have to say I love playing in Conleths as it means that your there for a game worth playing.

Like Ballyteague/Naas and dsilike Sallins/TwoMile House

No offence to ellistown people but I hated playing on your pitch. Grass was usually very long and for big lads like me it hampered my usual cheetah like ability to cover short distances in lightening bursts. Still usually always got out front though.

The only pitch I was ever booked on also, Bad times.

quiet like the ellistown one.....dont like monasterevins at all!!

I like the "grass" mowed too Sam, noting as bad as long grass...

its grand for rolling in though!!!

Jaysus I thought you'd like that one, you seem to give them a good trimming anytime you played them the last few years.
