St Leonards · County Wexford
Village football in south County Wexford
Founded in 1972, St Leonards FC gives local children and families a clear football home in the rural community near the Hook Peninsula.
Club identity
The County Wexford St Leonards
This profile belongs to the active St Leonards FC in County Wexford. That location matters because other football clubs have used the same name outside Ireland. The official Irish club channels, Wexford activity and the two local Eircodes establish the correct identity.
The crest is equally distinctive. Red heraldic decoration surrounds a pale shield, with a football above a strongly geometric castle and the wording “Founded 1972” below. It is not a generic saint symbol and should not be replaced by the badge of a namesake.
The red and white visual identity appears across club updates and kit. The badge, founding year and rural Wexford location together provide a consistent identity even where public team information is spread across social posts and match records.
Club life
Football, fundraising and a growing home
Public club activity shows more than fixtures. Registration messages, community fundraising and the Split the Pot draw all help support the football programme. The move to a new pitch and astro is an important practical development for a village club because it gives teams a more defined base for training and match activity.
The club has also hosted a Wexford FC summer camp, giving local players access to an additional football experience without implying that every participant enters a formal academy pathway. These events sit alongside the regular work of volunteer coaches and organisers.
Players and teams
A local route into organised youth football
Official posts and competition references show active youth football in the south east region. The available public evidence supports a school age programme, but it does not provide a single permanent list of every current team and division.
Families should therefore contact the club by birth year. Include the player’s recent experience and preferred position, then ask which team is appropriate, whether it is taking players and which surface it uses. The newest club update is more reliable than an old result when checking a current squad.
Home ground
The new pitch and astro
Recent official club information identifies the new pitch and astro with Eircode Y34 E868. An older club location remains associated with Y34 X767. Both references belong to St Leonards, but they are not interchangeable for a particular training session or match.
Use the destination supplied by the current coach or fixture message. The new pitch and astro may host different activity, so visiting teams should also confirm the surface and entrance before travelling.
Visiting and joining
Check the pitch before leaving home
Allow time for rural roads and for finding the correct entrance. Ask whether changing facilities are open, where spectators should stand and whether parking guidance has been issued for the fixture. Weather can change a grass assignment even when the astro remains available.
For joining enquiries, use the public club accounts and identify the player by birth year rather than sending only a school class or an under age label. Personal details about a child should be shared only through the club’s recognised contact route.
