A fine Maryfield Park gallery from Harley Freemantle

The ground is situated behind New Abbey Primary School, and is a compact yet tidy little venue. There is a large clubhouse consisting of changing rooms, a referees room and an equipment store. It also has a large 'tea room' facility with space for around 30, that affords a good view of the action on a wet day. There is also a small amount of covered hard standing at the front. A pair of training lights are mounted behind the near goal, whilst the other end has netting attached to catch balls from going beyond into the farmers field, and the pitch is flanked by a series of white posts used on match days to rope the pitch off. Two large dugouts are at either side and straddle the halfway line. The ground is over looked by Criffel, to the north, and Sweetheart Abbey, a couple of fields away to the east.

Club Information:

Abbey Vale joined the South of Scotland League in June 2001 after realising the only way they would keep their good young players from leaving the Dumfries amateurs was to join the league where they kept going to.

Club Information:

Annan Athletic have a first team playing in the East of Scotland League and a reserve team playing in their original (by geography) league, the Southern Counties League (though there is an arrangement in place that means Annan must play their strongest XI available for South football, much to the annoyance of other clubs when it comes to midweek games). Their gates number around 100. Annan had a spell in Junior football shortly after forming but when the Dumfries Junior FA disbanded they were forced into English football, playing in the Carlisle & District League but joined the Southern Counties FA in 1977. Their stay in South of Scotland football was brief, as they joined the two-tier East of Scotland League set-up ten years later in 1987, and won the lower division at the first time of asking. The club applied for membership of the Scottish League but were unsuccessful.

Annan Athletic's 1st team are allowed to enter the Tennents Scottish Cup.
