Ballyclare Comrades Football Club was formed by a group of men who returned to Ballyclare after surviving the horrors of the trenches in the First World War. Since that team of veteran soldiers played their first match in 1919, Ballyclare Comrades has gone on to win many titles and trophies and currently play in the NIFL Championship - the second tier of Northern Ireland club football.
The club is based in the heart of the community in Ballyclare (a market town in the south-east of County Antrim), with our home territory, Dixon Park, situated in the centre of the town. You can find out more about our home on the Dixon Park page.
