St Anne’s AFC
Proudly rooted in Co. Laois, St Anne’s AFC has been a cornerstone of our local community for generations.
Founded with a passion for football and a commitment to nurturing local talent, St Anne’s AFC has grown into a vibrant and inclusive club where players of all ages and abilities are welcomed. From our grassroots youth teams to our senior squads, we focus not just on the game—but on teamwork, sportsmanship, and community spirit.
Over the years, our club has become more than just a place to play football. It’s a gathering point for families, a place where lifelong friendships are formed, and a beacon of pride for the people of Co. Laois. We regularly compete in regional leagues and tournaments, and we’re proud of the dedication and effort shown by our players, coaches, and volunteers.
As a community-based, volunteer-led organisation, we rely on the generous support of our members, sponsors, and fundraisers to maintain and develop our facilities, purchase equipment, and provide opportunities for young people to thrive through sport.
Your support helps keep our club strong, inclusive, and ready to inspire the next generation of players.
St Anne’s AFC – More than a club, it’s a community.
Help Us Build a New 4G Astro Pitch for Ballylinan & Surrounding Areas!
We need your help! St. Anne’s AFC has been a proud part of Ballylinan and the surrounding areas for many years, offering a safe and fun place for people of all ages to enjoy football. Now, we’re excited to start a new project—a brand new 4G astro pitch that can be used all year round!
Why We Need a New Pitch
All-Weather Use: No more cancelling games or training sessions because of bad weather. The new pitch will let us play rain or shine.
Improved Facilities: A high-quality 4G surface will help players train better, stay safe, and perform at their best.
Community Benefits: This pitch isn’t just for our team. It will be available to local schools, community groups, and other sports clubs, offering a great place for everyone to come together.
Future Growth: A modern pitch will secure the future of football in our area, helping young players grow and ensuring that the club can keep developing for years to come.
How You Can Help
We are raising funds on GoFundMe to make this project a reality. Every donation, no matter how small, will bring us closer to our goal. And if you can’t donate, sharing our campaign with your friends, family, and neighbors would mean the world to us.
With your support, we can create a state-of-the-art football facility that will benefit Ballylinan and the surrounding areas for generations. Thank you for believing in our community and in the power of sports to bring people together!
