Graiguecullen | Est 2002 | Purple and white
A Carlow and Laois football home beside the Barrow
St Fiacc’s AFC gives families around Graiguecullen, Carlow town and the Laois border a local football route with school age girls, boys and adult records all visible in the public football trail.
Club identity
One club name across several football listings
Families may see the club styled as St Fiacc’s AFC in Carlow League and school age results, and as St Fiaccs FC on the current club shop. The badge and colours tie those references together: a purple and white SFFC shield with a football at the centre.
An older club note placed the club’s foundation in 2002 and described its early base in Graiguecullen, to the rear of St Fiacc’s National School. Current results and club shop material keep the St Fiacc’s name active across the Carlow football scene.
Venues
Two current map points to check

Graiguecullen pitch project

Player pathway
From academy gear to girls, boys and adults
The current club shop carries St Fiaccs FC academy gear and club clothing, which is a useful live signal for families looking at the club’s underage route. Match records also show St Fiacc’s in school age girls and boys football.
Recent public results include MU13 Carlow League football in December 2025, while Striker Online’s Carlow juvenile coverage listed St Fiacc’s in Under 16 Girls and Under 12 Girls fixtures at St Patrick’s College in November 2022.
Match context
How St Fiacc’s appears in competition records
St Fiacc’s has a local football footprint across the Carlow and Laois border area. The adult side appears in Carlow District League records, including Premier Division and cup references from the 2025 and 2026 season trail.
For youth football, the Parkville United results feed listed a 20 December 2025 MU13 Black Carlow League Division 3 fixture between St Fiacc’s AFC and Parkville United at St Patrick’s College, Carlow. Earlier Carlow juvenile coverage placed St Fiacc’s girls fixtures at the same venue reference.

For new players
What to ask before turning up
A first enquiry should include the player’s year of birth, whether the player is looking for girls, boys or adult football, and whether they have played before. Ask for the right coach, training night, venue and footwear for the surface.
If the fixture or training note says St Patrick’s College, check whether the meeting point is the college side or the pitch entrance used by the team. If the note refers to Graiguecullen, ask whether it means the Northern Relief Road pitch project, the older school side base or another local pitch.
Club roots
Graiguecullen roots with room to grow
The 2010 local football note described St Fiacc’s as a small but growing club with academy, school age, senior and over 35 teams in its early years. That history helps explain why the name still reaches across boys, girls and adult records today.
The more recent pitch project reference is important for families because facilities shape training access. A full size synthetic grass pitch would give the club a stronger all weather base in the Graiguecullen area, close to the families it serves.
