Facilities
In 1977 the club purchased an 11-acre (4.45-hectare) site from Omagh District Council for £11,750 and developed it into what now known as Jim McGirr Park. The current spectator stand was built in the early 1990s. The next development was in 1999, when in September the new clubrooms were opened by County Chairman at the time, Cuthbert Donnelly. The cost for the new building was approximately £220,000. A second pitch was also leased to the club from Omagh District Council for 99 years. The main playing field was the next phase of development, which saw a sand carpet pitch being laid and grass seeds sown in October 2005. This also saw a 1.2m (4ft)-high perimeter fence erected; and goal posts, ballstops and a turnstile being built.
