Club story
Football in Cloyne

Young players
An academy that grew into a youth pathway

Girls and women
Football beyond the academy
Churchvilla’s August 2024 recruitment notice describes an U15 girls’ side developing on its first two seasons. Adult women’s football is also part of the club: 2025 competition records place the team in the Cork Women’s and Schoolgirls’ Soccer League Second Division, while the current membership programme includes a women’s category.

Club story
A club shaped by its local grounds
The club’s history traces an early leased ground at Churchtown South, a relaunch at Lisanley in 1992/93, and the later move to Kilboy, where changing rooms were erected. Ballyduff became a second location for underage football.
Ground improvements continue to feature in club activity. An August 2024 update announced installation work on new goals, dugouts and an additional storage container. Visitors should confirm their match venue: the club has used both Kilboy and Ballyduff.
For players joining the club, the best starting point is a conversation with the team contact. Ask about the training location, equipment, registration and any support or access requirements so the first session runs smoothly.
