The club was founded in 1996.

 

It owns its own 16 acre site with 2 main grass pitches and a training area. A full sized 4G astro was completed in December 2023. We are located in a woodland setting at old Kilcornan Lodge, by Clarenbridge village.

 

Fundraising is ongoing for the long-term development of the grounds with walkways connected to the broader area, a purposed built clubouse and ancillary facilities.

 

There are currently over 750 playing members, in all age groups, from U6 to adult. Colga teams compete each year in a variety of competitions from kids friendly challenges to Galway District league and cup tournaments at Junior (adult) level. The coaches are all FAI certified and we have also achieved the FAI ONE STAR CLUB MARK.

Colga is a stronghold of women’s football and has had members selected for provincial and national honours in recent years. Every summer we host an FAI Summer Soccer School for both boys and girls. The winter Girls Training Academy is a more recent development but has been as successful as it was popular.

If you are already a member or a Colga parent, your participation and opinions matter to us. Tell us what you enjoy and what you want to do at training. Tell us what you like about the club but also how you think we can improve it. And be sure to tell your friends about us too.
