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.

Club identity: founded in 1972, based in Abbeyknockmoy and represented by the abbey ruins at the heart of its crest.
