Edenmore · Dublin 5
Green and black football at Springdale Road
St Malachys AFC has represented Edenmore since 1968, with football for young children, teenagers and adults at its Dublin 5 home.
Club story
An Edenmore identity since 1968
St Malachys AFC records 1968 as its foundation year. The official crest is closely tied to that history: a green shield with a strong black M, three tower marks carrying small crosses, a football, the year 1968 and ribbons naming both the club and Dublin.
The badge and the Springdale Road address distinguish this club from other St Malachy names. Its colours are green and black for the home identity, with red and black also recorded for change colours. The club’s public description covers a youth programme and an adult team, making it a community club rather than a single squad.
Available records do not provide a permanent public list of every current squad. Team availability should therefore be checked by birth year with the club instead of inferred from an older fixture.
Player pathway
From early coaching to adult football
The club describes football for players from about five years of age through to the later teenage years. Younger children begin with coaching that concentrates on movement, the ball and enjoyment. Older players move into organised DDSL training and matches as teams are formed for the season.
The adult side extends participation beyond youth football and helps keep players, coaches and families connected with the club. It does not follow that every age group has an open place at every point in the year, so a current club reply is essential.
Home ground
Springdale Road, Edenmore
The club’s verified home base is Springdale Road, Edenmore, Dublin 5. Use Eircode D05 C9X4. The address places St Malachys within the neighbourhood it serves and gives visiting teams a clear destination.
A ground address is not a substitute for the match notice. Confirm the pitch, surface, entrance and arrival time with the team contact, particularly when several age groups are active. Weather or league changes can affect a fixture without changing the main club address.
Match day
Arrive with the correct team details
Visiting players should know the age group, coach and kickoff before leaving home. Bring boots suitable for the confirmed surface, shin guards, water and clothing for the weather. Parents of younger players should agree the collection point and remain aware of the club’s touchline guidance.
Springdale Road is part of a residential area, so parking should be considerate. If a current team message gives instructions that differ from an old map or directory entry, follow the current message.
Joining and club contact
Use the Edenmore club channels
The official club page and social accounts are the best places to check recruitment notices, registration information, cancellations and community events. When enquiring for a child, ask for the named coach, the training location, membership steps and the equipment needed for a first session.
