Where pitches are marked on an existing 11-a-side Pitch with white lines, the lines for the small-sided games should be clearly distinguishable. We recommend using BLUE for all small-sided pitch markings played on a pitch with existing white Lines.
If marking out a 9-a-side on an 11-a-side pitch that is 90m in length (a minimum-sized pitch), we recommend placing the goals on the edge of the 6-yard box.

This product is good quality paint. Well concentrated for numerous mixes. Great value too.
I’ve been marking pitches for years, and the Professional 200m String Line is hands down the best string line I’ve used.
Our groundsman says this is the best pitch marking paint compared to others we have tried. Leaves a clear crisp line each time.
excellent service
Top class professional service from a top class professional company.
Easy to order, delivery never a problem and quality of products second to none. Highly recommended doesn't do them justice. Best around.
Excellent product for marking gaa pitches. In the past used lime but switched to pitch marking paint. It is easier to use and produces great white lines. It is a game changer in marking our pitches.
Line marking had me order ready same day and even offered to keep warehouse open later on a Friday evening in case we needed the paint for marking our pitches on the Saturday.This was my first time to buy from them and my order was only 2 drums.top class from them.
Great service, John always obliges if we are stuck. Great product, even with the weather we had, Lumen was worth it.
We bought a line marker and paint and our pitch caretaker doesn’t know himself.. lines lasted much longer than previously so has made life easier for him..
fine it really good and last just redo every week but does not take as much paint each week as a gaa club we line bath pitch and training pitch as busy season
Great service and very efficient delivery. Would recommend highly.
