Navan Town Cosmos FC

Navan football identity

Navan Town Cosmos FC is a community football club in Navan, County Meath. The club carries the combined identity of Navan Town and Navan Cosmos, with The Bawn on the Trim road serving as the home base.

The badge, colours and name make the combined story clear. Navan Town Cosmos brings town football, youth coaching and local volunteers together under one club name for boys, girls and senior players.

How the combined club came together

The current club followed the joining of Navan Town and Navan Cosmos. Navan Town brought the ground and facilities at The Bawn, while Navan Cosmos brought a strong youth setup and football tradition.

The combined club identity helps explain the wide spread of teams connected with Navan Town Cosmos now. It is not only a change of name; it is a shared town football project with facility, coaching and player pathways in the same structure.

The Bawn on the Trim road

The Bawn is the practical anchor for the club. It sits on the Trim road outside Navan and gives players, parents and visiting teams a clear match day reference point.

Families should still confirm the exact pitch, entrance, parking and arrival time before travelling. A busy club can have several teams active across a weekend, so the team message remains the best match day guide.

Travel anchor: The Bawn, Trim road, Navan, County Meath.

Ground development and facilities

The ground and dressing room facilities opened in July 2016. That facility base later became central to the combined club, giving the football pathway a settled home rather than a scattered arrangement.

By 2021, work at The Bawn included drainage, sanding and reseeding across two pitch areas, helped by a 46,800 euro Sports Capital allocation. Those works sit beside the club growth from nursery football through youth teams and senior football.

Youth pathway across boys and girls football

Navan Town Cosmos has boys and girls football in the North Eastern Regional League pathway. The visible youth spread includes under 12, under 13, under 14, under 15 and youth football across boys and girls groups.

The exact team list can change each season, so parents should ask the club which group matches a player year of birth. The important point for families is that the club has both boys and girls routes rather than a single narrow age band.

Girls football at Navan Town Cosmos

Girls football is part of the club identity, not a side note. Navan Town Cosmos has girls teams across younger and youth grades, including premier level groups in the regional setup.

That matters for families because a younger player can see a wider pathway above her own age group. It also gives parents a clear reason to ask about girls training, team placement and the route into older football.

Under 12 girls cup win

A strong girls milestone came at the MDL on 2 October 2021 when the Navan Town Cosmos under 12 girls beat Balrath 2 to 1 in a cup final. Hannah Byrne scored both goals and was player of the match.

Gwen Wogan managed the side and Marc Walsh coached the group. It is a useful club moment because it shows girls football producing a team achievement, named player impact and clear coaching support.

League representative pathway

Navan Town Cosmos players have also been part of the wider regional girls pathway. The North Eastern Regional League under 14 girls panel reached an SFAI Girls Inter League final in March 2024, with Navan Town Cosmos among the represented clubs.

For a developing player, that shows how club football can connect to a wider league environment. The day to day club work remains the base, but strong players can meet representative chances through the league structure.

Senior football and NEFL marker

The combined club also includes a senior football marker. In 2021 the club described one senior side alongside the nursery and about twenty underage teams, showing a structure that stretched from first steps to adult football.

Navan Town Cosmos also sat in the NEFL Division 2 picture in 2024. That senior presence gives older players a local football route and helps the club feel like a whole pathway rather than a youth only setup.

Club awards and goalscoring note

Navan Town Cosmos picked up a Club of the Month award in the NEFL awards setting, with an O’Neills voucher attached to the recognition. Joseph Moran Lynagh was also named as a Division 2 top scorer.

Those details add competitive depth to the senior side. They show both collective recognition for the club and individual goalscoring impact within the Division 2 environment.

People behind the underage pathway

A January 2026 kit prize named coaches Joe Martin, Kevin Enright and Martin Walsh, chairperson Damien Clarke and underage secretary Orla O’Reilly. Those names help families see the people behind the underage activity.

For a parent, the main contact point remains the club channel or secretary contact. A useful first message includes the player name, year of birth, previous football experience and whether the question is about boys football, girls football or nursery football.

Kit colours and match day clarity

The club identity is blue and white, with league kit details also using white socks. Youth details include blue and white shirts, while another football kit detail uses blue and white vertical stripes with white shorts.

Because kit calls can vary by team or competition, visiting coaches should confirm the colours before travel. Home families should also check whether a training bib, change jersey or goalkeeper colour is needed.

What the crest carries

The Navan Town Cosmos crest uses a green and blue shield, a crown, a football, three stars, the NTCFC initials and the club name on the lower curve. The combined club date sits inside the shield.

The crest works as a compact story of the combined club. The colours link strongly to the current kit identity, while the predecessor wording on the badge keeps the earlier Navan Town and Navan Cosmos roots in view.

Contact and first enquiry

The secretary contact for Navan Town Cosmos is Orla O’Reilly on 087 133 7471. Parents should use that as a starting point when they need the right team, training night or registration route.

Keep the message simple and useful: player name, year of birth, boys or girls football, any previous club experience and the part of Navan that suits travel. Visiting teams should include the team name, age group and match date.

First visit checklist

For a first session at The Bawn, arrive early enough to park, find the correct coach and let the player settle before warm up. Bring boots suited to grass, shin guards, water and weather gear.

Ask whether the first session is a normal training night, a trial session or an academy welcome. Families should also confirm fees, registration, gear needs and where parents should stand during the session.

Away team guide

Away teams travelling to Navan should confirm The Bawn, the pitch, parking, changing arrangements and warm up area before leaving. The Trim road location is straightforward, but a direct home contact avoids confusion on a busy football day.

Coaches should agree kit colours, check weather before travel and keep the home contact handy. The blue and white identity is distinctive, but it can still clash with other blue or white kits.

What defines Navan Town Cosmos

Navan Town Cosmos is defined by the joined Navan Town and Navan Cosmos identity, The Bawn on the Trim road, boys and girls youth football, a senior route and a badge that keeps the combined story visible.

The club gives families a clear town football option with nursery roots, regional league teams, girls football milestones, senior football and practical facilities in one place.
