Stoneyford · County Kilkenny · Established 1978
Football for a growing village
Stoneyford United brings boys, girls and adult players together in south Kilkenny.
Club identity
Stoneyford football since 1978
The club crest records an establishment year of 1978. The Irish Youth Football directory uses Stoneyford FC, while the club’s current public channels use Stoneyford United FC; both refer to the black, white and gold village club in the Kilkenny and District League.
The castle wall on the crest ties the identity to the village, while the long-running youth programme has made the club a regular starting point for local children. Community reports from 2021 and 2022 document teams from under 7 upward, girls’ football and junior adult activity.

Confirm the team, pitch and kick off time before leaving home. Allow time for younger players to meet their coach and keep entrances clear when several matches share the ground.
Boys and girls
A broad youth pathway
Stoneyford’s youth record includes introductory groups, multiple boys’ age grades and girls’ teams. In February 2022 the under 16 girls won 4–0 away to Maynooth United to reach the last 16 of the SFAI National Cup, while the under 14 B boys secured their league with a match to spare.
The club’s 2026 activity includes age-group registration, an under 11 village tournament and more than one team at some grades. Squad names and availability can change, so the current coach is the final source.
Adult football
Senior teams in the Kilkenny league
The official club Facebook description places Stoneyford United in the Kilkenny and District League. The 2025/26 Division 1 table lists the first team fourth after 16 matches, and club footage from February 2026 also records active B team football.
That adult structure gives older youth players a local route to continue in the game. New adult players should state their recent experience and preferred position when asking about training.
