Football in Meadow Vale
Granada FC gives local players a route through youth football, with Meadow Vale at the heart of club football.
Club identity
Blackrock football with a distinctive name
Granada FC began in 1970 when boys from Granville Park and Ardagh Park came together in Blackrock. The club’s name reflects that local origin, while the green identity has travelled from its first custom-made shirts to the current community club.
Granada describes itself as a Football for All club, welcoming players from different backgrounds and abilities into a shared youth football environment.
Youth pathway
Development squads through youth football
The club’s official pathway includes boys’ teams from development age through U19 and girls’ teams from development age through U17, with multiple squads at many age groups. Teams play on Saturdays and Sundays, giving families more flexibility around weekend football.
Current age groups, team names, divisions and seasonal relationships are shown by the native Teams module, so each squad remains connected to its own league record.
Colours and crest
Green football for the community
Granada’s public identity is formed around its green grassroots message and the circular Granada Football Club crest. The enhanced crest preserves the original green, blue and white design and 1970 mark while giving the opener a clearer, dimensional presentation.
The canonical club identity follows the connected teams through fixtures, results and standings.
Hollypark and Blackrock
Home grounds around the local community
Granada’s club information places its base at New Park Road, Glebe, Blackrock, County Dublin, with Hollypark among the established football locations. The club history records early away matches before a home was found and later development of the Hollypark pitch.
Fixture cards remain the authority for the exact venue, date and kick-off attached to each team because age groups can use different local pitches.
Competition record
South Dublin roots with DDSL connections
Granada FC is a founder member of the South Dublin League and also fields teams in the DDSL and Metropolitan Girls’ League. Its history records a standout 1991–1992 season with an under-15 treble, an under-10 double, an under-9 league title and an under-14 shield.
