Moone Celtic FC was founded in 1989 and through the enormous efforts of founding members Liam Doyle (RIP) & Michael Dooley along with numerous players still associated with the club established its home grounds at Simonstown, Moone, Co. Kildare. We joined the Carlow League under the management team of Joe Keating and Tom Hickey (who presently is our club Secretary).. From this the club grew year after year and soon found its first team competing against the top teams in the league and on one occasion representing the Carlow League in the FAI Junior Cup.  Currently our grounds are based at Fortfield Park, Off Old N7 Moone Bypass.

Since August 2008 the club play all its football in the "Kildare & District Football League" for our senior team and the “Kildare & District Underage League” for all the underage teams. This has been a positive move for the club and has sparked huge interest from local groups and businesses providing support as we progress.

Over the past seven years a structured underage system has been set up through the hard work of Anthony Hegarty and this tremendous foresight has now seen the 2010/11 seasons Under 17 team win their League and Shield Double and provide some of the highest quality performances in every competition they play. Some of this squad have already entered the senior radar and show promise to bring huge value to an already promising senior team through the guidance of manager Mick Barrett. Our underage teams range from Under 8’s, 9’s, 10’s, 11’s, 13’s, 15’s & 17’s for Girls and Boys

In August of 2010 the club moved to its new grounds at Fortfield Park and enjoy the huge advantages of two full size pitches, one training pitch with floodlights and off-road parking. Once this was established it was clear to see that it helped to have additional space with the extra pitch to develop the capabilities of aspiring young players to show off their talents and reach the highest level possible for them and entice young people in the area and beyond to get involved in soccer.

Earier this year the club has kicked off an 8 week Academy Program for 4 to 7 year olds and this has proven to be a huge success for the club. We invested in FAI coaching for 16 members of the club to have prior to this course commencing and this has paid dividends through the participation and enjoyment each child has shown since the Academy started. We plan to have another 8 week course in September and again next year to follow on from the success of this one.

The future is bright for Moone Celtic as the club is enjoying some of the most progressive years in its history recently. This has happened simply from the hard work and determination of many individuals involved in the club as well as having a positive attitude with regards to how the club develops both on and off the field. There is no easy formula for success but when as many people as possible are involved who share a common goal with drive and determination it makes getting there all the more enjoyable.

On behalf of Chairman Aidan Byrne and committee the club would like to say many thanks to all the managers, coaches, volunteers, parents, guardians, players (past and present) and supporters for their commitment and support throughout the years. Also, to say a word of thanks to our sponsors and local community who show tremendous support every year.
