Football beneath the abbey ruins
St. Bernards United FC gives players in Abbeyknockmoy a community route from school age football into the adult game.
Club story
An Abbeyknockmoy identity since 1972
The club’s official crest links St. Bernards directly to its home place. Abbeyknockmoy’s historic Cistercian ruins sit at its centre, framed by the foundation year 1972 and the village name.
Yellow and blue have long carried that identity on the pitch. The crest adds a rich purple tone around the abbey mark, giving the club a badge that is unmistakably local.
