The Story Of Creetown FC

Proud Of Our Past

Creetown Football Club has been part of the local community for generations.

The club’s recorded history tells of Barholm Rovers, who played their home matches at Barholm Park in Creetown. In 1905 the club became Creetown Rifle Volunteers Football Club before adopting the name Creetown Football Club in 1920.

Today Creetown FC plays its home football at Castle Cary Park and competes in the South of Scotland Football League.

Our history stretches across generations of players, volunteers and supporters who have represented Creetown both on and off the pitch.

Historic Creetown Football Honours

Historical records also contain honours won by earlier Creetown sides connected with the club’s origins. These are shown separately so the modern Creetown FC honours roll remains clear while still recognising the area’s earlier football heritage.

Tweedie Cup 1901–02
Recorded as Barholm Rovers.
Tweedie Cup 1906–07
Recorded as Creetown Volunteers.
Wigtownshire & District Cup 1906–07
Recorded as Creetown Volunteers.
Club Heritage The early Barholm Rovers and Creetown Volunteers years form an important part of the wider history of football in Creetown.
Historic competitions and club names changed frequently during the early years of Scottish football. These early honours are therefore displayed separately from the principal Creetown FC honours roll.
