Roscrea, Co. Tipperary
A clear football home at Timeighter
From academy sessions to senior football, the pathway points families toward Villa Park.
Club story
Roscrea football since 1969
Killavilla Utd AFC is the familiar short form for Killavilla United AFC, a Roscrea club founded in 1969 and rooted in North Tipperary football.
The club presents itself as the oldest football club in North Tipperary. Its story now centres on Villa Park in Timeighter, where the move in 2004 gave the club a permanent base for underage, senior and community football.
The crest keeps that identity close: blue, gold and white, the 1969 date, footballs, an owl motif and the Irish motto around the lower ring.
Home ground
Villa Park, Timeighter
Villa Park is the confirmed football home: Timeighter, Roscrea, Co. Tipperary, E53 EA25. It is the match-day address families and visiting teams should use unless a team message names a different pitch for a specific game.
The club describes two full-size pitches, two 7-a-side pitches, an AstroTurf surface, floodlights on the main pitch and AstroTurf, a clubhouse, parking and a 4G training surface. Treat the club contact as the final word for pitch allocation on busy weekends.

Player pathway
Academy, boys, girls and adult football
The club pathway runs from academy football into boys, girls and youth teams, then through adult football. Its teams page names Senior Men A, Senior Men B, Senior Ladies, U19 boys, school-age boys and girls sides, and academy football.
That gives families a clear route from first football into a competitive setting, with the Teams, Fixtures and Results tabs carrying the live club detail.
For a new player, send the year of birth, experience, preferred route and family contact details so the club can point the enquiry toward the right group.
Senior football
North Tipp roots and CCFL football
Senior football has long been a major part of Killavilla’s identity. Recent club communication places Senior A in the Combined Counties Football League setting, while the club’s North Tipperary and District League honours remain central to its local standing.
The Senior Men A and Senior Men B labels give adult players a defined route, and the Senior Ladies listing gives girls in the club a visible adult end point.
For players coming into the adult squads, the useful first questions are training group, match day base, registration, kit and the contact for the relevant coach.
Girls and community football
A visible girls route at Villa Park
Killavilla’s official pathway includes girls sides through the school-age groups and a Senior Ladies team. That helps a family see where a young player can go after academy football.
A 2024 local report placed the U14 girls in an SFAI Cup final, which points to a girls programme competing beyond local fixtures while still using Villa Park as the home base.
The club also describes Roscrea Street League Finals, FAI Summer Camps and wider community use at Villa Park, so the ground is more than a weekend match venue.

Joining and visiting
Good first steps for families
