Maes Meurig is a ground of a very good standard for this level of football, and better than some North Wales sides plying their trade at a higher level.

Although there is no seating at the ground, there is hard standing all the way around the pitch, a building housing the changing rooms, a refreshment kiosk and toilets, and three covered terraces.

You enter the ground on the side of the clubhouse, and on this side there is one of the three covered terraces. On the opposite side of the ground there are the other two of these covered terraces, with dugouts on either side.

Behind both goals is just hard standing behind pitch railings, but you will find a good setup here at Gwalchmai, and an impressive pitch on my visit too.
