This pitch was newly constructed over the last number and this is only the second season that games are being played there. There is also another pitch adjacent to the football pitch, which is being used by the GAA. A fantastic new complex building overlooks both pitches. This complex comprises of fully fitted dressing rooms and showers, a crèche and a large floor area on the first floor to be used for almost any activity. The complex is nearing completion and will serve the local community and cater for all the local sports clubs, associations and societies.  as well as various functions etc. This complex and pitches were planned, built and part financed by the local community under the guidance of the Tintern Sports Complex committee.
