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.
