Carryduff Colts is a cross-community football club for children, young people and adults, all genders, and is one of the fastest-growing clubs in the Lisburn & Castlereagh Council area.
From our humble beginnings in 2003 with just one team of 13 players, the club has grown exponentially to approaching 1,000 playing members in 2025, reflecting a clear and sustained commitment to making football accessible for all. Carryduff Colts supports players from age 5 right through to adulthood, fielding four adult senior teams competing in the NAFL and DAWFL.
We now have over 50 teams including 26 teams participating at mini soccer. We compete at every age group in the South Belfast Youth League and three of our youth squads play in the NI Youth FA National League. We also have teams in the Lisburn League.
In 2025, the club proudly entered our ladies’ senior team into the NI Women’s Football Association league for the first time. Over 200 of our members are girls, competing in 14 different teams across a range of age groups.
One of the most inspiring developments this year has been the creation of the club’s disability programme (Inclusion Team) which commenced in January 2025.
