Is there an indoor in Mallow?
Yeah.
Banteer is a tiny village with a junior hurling team and a junior b football team and they have a massive indoor astro and a floodlit full size outside astro facility with a stand and a coffe shop.
They have the place on the go non stop with soccer and gaa clubs from all over using it

Yeah v good there as well. Growing population there right next to city. Cloughduv on the other side of the city have a massive complex too. Its like an arms race. If you get there first the other clubs locally won’t get funded

Are they any good at playing ball?
Good few examples of clubs with no players and good infrastructure because getting good infrastructure is easy compared to coaching and creating good teams.

Not particularly. Junior in both codes
It’s a tiny village with a relatively large catchment but small pop in catchment area. I’d say they are playing a draw vs how they should be doing. No more
Croke Park has not made the list of venues to be used in the Ireland and UK bid for Euro 2028. Casement Park was used.
Casement wont ever be built.
