Club story
From St Patrick’s Park to a club with two grounds
The club history places Celbridge Town’s beginnings in 1958 and describes a club supported by coaches, volunteers, families, local schools and businesses. Camps, fundraisers and family days remain part of its community activity.
Seamus Hayden Park contains the clubhouse, a senior pitch and pitches for smaller teams. Gerry Kenneally Park at Ballymakeally provides the astro and a second senior grass pitch. These are separate locations: visitors should confirm which ground their match or training session uses.
The club’s ground addresses are Seamus Hayden Park, St Patrick’s Park, W23 DH02, and Gerry Kenneally Park, Ballymakeally, W23 HFX0. Ask the team contact about parking, changing facilities and any access requirements.
