Club story
From Mosney Celtic to Drogheda Town
Drogheda Town FC traces its roots to Mosney Celtic, founded in 1969. The club’s own history records the main changes: Mosney Celtic joined with CIE in 1980 to become Mosney CIE, moved to Marian Park in 1984 and adopted the Drogheda Celtic name. Drogheda Celtic and West End then amalgamated in 2001 to form the present Drogheda Town FC.
Youth football became a formal part of the club in 2006. The same history says a juvenile programme began that year and later expanded with kindergarten and academy coaching. The current club homepage describes support from academy through to senior football and advertises age groups extending to U18. The historical team counts on the older page are useful snapshots, not a current census.
The wider club includes far more than the relationships shown here. Its public club profile describes football for men and women from age six to senior level. The club site also keeps a player pathway, registration information, coaching support and an academy route. Those programmes make the missing IYF ages especially important to state.
Irish Youth Football currently connects eight boys-coded records for 2026–27. Five are U15 and three are U16. Repeated club-and-age names may reflect different competition imports rather than eight separately named squads. Every connected record appears in the automatic team panel.
This is incomplete team coverage. There are no connected cards for the academy, U12, U13, U14, U17 or U18, and no girls’, women’s or senior men’s record. The page must not be read as a complete list of Drogheda Town teams. Families looking for another age should use the club’s registration and contact routes.
The IYF fixture view currently has no upcoming match. Its results view holds 32 saved results and reports no further batch. These records cover only the linked U15 and U16 entries. The North Eastern Regional League profile provides the current youth match record, club badge, contact and kit details.
The official club archive records youth league success. Its home-page history panels report an U14 Division 1 title sealed at Marian Park and a Drogheda Town Eagles U13 side winning a second league title in two seasons. The public page does not give a clean date and full competition label for every item, so this profile names the achievements without inventing a season.
Drogheda Town has also appeared nationally and at senior amateur level. The senior competition archive records FAI Cup and Intermediate Cup participation, while current local reporting follows Leinster competition. Appearances, finals and strong cup runs are not counted as trophy wins here unless a verified final result is available.
The current NERL kit listing is detailed. The home shirt is red and black, worn with black shorts and black socks. It also shows a yellow away shirt and a white away shirt, both paired with black shorts and socks. The club shop page is the route for current apparel, while the NERL badge is the crest used in IYF match cards.
Drogheda Town uses more than one football site. The official location page identifies Marian Park as the clubhouse and senior-team pitch, with St Oliver’s Community College and Platin Road listed for junior football. NERL calls St Oliver’s the main juvenile home pitch and describes Marian Park as a floodlit grass senior ground.
Platin Road should not yet be presented as an ordinary match venue. The club’s development material and 2026 fundraising notices describe work towards new pitch and training provision, while the league page labels the pitches as opening soon. The club relationship on this youth profile points to St Oliver’s, but match instructions may send a team to Marian Park or another site.
Visitor facilities at St Oliver’s are not fully published. As it is a school site, access may depend on the booking. Confirm the kickoff, entrance, assigned pitch, surface, parking, changing access, toilets, refreshments and step-free route before travel. The map below follows the league’s juvenile-ground pin, not the separate Marian Park senior pitch.
