Sport NI who is the major funder will be represented by Danny O’Connor and Conleth Donnelly while Cathal Daly Chairman of Tyrone Development committee who helped us to obtain a sizeable amount of GAA funding will also attend. Cookstown District Council who has helped out with funding for our new entrance will also be represented.Fr Paddy Hughes PP will bless our facilities.
The work on the pitch was carried out by Fox Contracts Carrickmore and they will be represented. We have also made a new third pitch for training and schools football. This was mainly provided by voluntary labour.
The opening will be marked by a game between Ulster Council GAA Select and a Kildress Select. These teams will include players past and present male and female. Tony Scullion will manage the Ulster Council team and has at his disposal such well known names as Diarmud Marsden, Gemma Begley, Stephen Donnelly, Roger Keenan, Stephen McGeehan and our own Shelley O’Connor. Frankie Corey will put together a Kildress select and will be assisted by Cathal Corey who has had a very successful time managing Donegal champions Noamh Conall of Glenties . Martin Keenan, Sean Tracey and Anthony Loughran will be among those who will represent our past players while former Tyrone ladies player Meave McGurk will lead the ladies contingent. It is also expected that players from neighbouring clubs will take part.

The list is not complete but the team that will take the field will represent past and present, young and old, male and female.
