Formed back in 1987 following the amalgamation of Rosspoint, Reids and Ardallan, Warrenpoint Town played their first competitive match in 1988. We resided at Clonallan Park up until 1995 when we made the move to Milltown.
Milltown has remained our home since then but has seen drastic changes over the years. Our first game at Milltown was against League of Ireland champions Dundalk, marking our ambition to continue to grow football at the highest level in South Down. In 2004, club rooms were built at Milltown for the first time. Development in the local community remained key for the club, and in 2009 we were able to open our own 3G facility at the club.
Milltown has continued to be developed and we now boast three seated and covered stands, a covered standing terrace, a dedicated club shop, a 3G training pitch, The Point Social (Social Club), and Academy Offices. Our first team has risen from the local Carnbane League, right up to the NIFL Premiership picking up many league and cup titles on the way. Following back-to-back relegations, we now compete in the NIFL Playr-Fit Premier Intermediate League (Third Tier). Despite the relegations, the community has rallied behind the club as we begin our fight back up the divisions.
Our 250+ children play in our 20 Youth teams in local and national leagues and are ably coached by a growing number of dedicated and certified IFA badge coaches. The future looks bright for the club but fundraising continues to be essential to ensure the continuity of football for all.
