Club Grounds: We have three full sized adult pitches located at Páirc Liam Uí Riain including a full sized floodlit pitch with ample viewing areas. Our forest pitch is a newly constructed sand based pitch . We have an outdoor and indoor ball alley that exists for nurturing the skills of our stars of the future. A 150 metre sand based all weather running track/training area adjoins the floodlit pitch.

A track around the playing fields provides for beautiful scenic seaside walks with connections to adjoining forest walkways. This facility also acts as a training ground for local athletes.

A multipurpose indoor function room is used by many local organisations. We have 4 dressing rooms, a referees room and a players' Gym.

Events: We provide a wide variety of daily group fitness classes on our grounds. This facility is open to the general public and caters for all ages and levels of ability. The centre is entitled East Cork Harbour Fitness and all classes can be booked online at www.echfitness.com.

We also host an annual national running event called East Cork Harbour Marathon. This event is run in association with The Athletics Association of Ireland and attracts over 1000 athletes to our area in August every year. The ethos of the event is family and community orientated with the proceeds also benefiting other local community initiatives along with our official event charity partner.
