Deise '14 Venue
The old racecourse at Tramore is set high up on the top of the hill with spectacular views from any angle and Deise committee utilises every part of the venue, both in front of and behind the main stand, on hard standing and for the stakes and BIS the parade ground is the grassed area used. It is a picturesque setting, if somewhat ‘Victorian’ in era, though the facilities and catering are up to the minute, and on a good day it is pleasant and certainly different, with quite a bit of character not associated with our normal sports grounds and Cloghran venues.
