There are more alleys than this in Fermanagh. For one, there are a number at St. Michael's Grammar School in Enniskillen. Note that in Derrylin there used to be an old 3 wall alley beside Blake's pub but it was demolished within the last 15 years. Irvinestown has been the most recent hot-spot for players in the county so there may well be one or two in that area.
Thanks for the information Maurice. I don't have photos of all the alleys on my list yet, and those outstanding for Fermanagh are Ederny, Roslea, Tempo and St. Michael's Grammer School. I'll add Ivirinestown to the list. Pleast let me know if you here of others. Thanks,
Aine
