for more details
The Dromore Park complex was officially opened at
the start of the 2008/09 season by the Club President,
Mr. Harry Loane. The Club Secretary, Norman Caskey, paid
tribute to the late Ernie Campbell for reforming the
club back in 1996. Ernie identified that young men
around the village had little to do so he went out,
bought a football strip and ball and got the team going.
It was always Ernie's desire to have a pitch in or
around the village of Desertmartin, unfortunately a
suitable facility was not found before Ernie passed
away.
In 2005, an approach was made to Desertmartin Parish
Church by the Football Club Committee to lease a field
in Dromore Road. A 25 year lease was agreed but an
application to Magherafelt Council to develop it was
refused. However, the Football Club Committee were not
deterred by this setback. They went ahead with the
development and the complex was officially opened with a
game against the mighty Glentoran Football Club.
