History
The club was formed on 1 June 2006 by the amalgamation of Ashtown Villa and Kinvara Ards.[1] Kinvara Ards, who were established in 1982, had previously merged with Kinvara Boys.[4] Ashtown Villa had previously qualified for the FAI Cup in 1990–91, 1991–92 and 1992–93. They made it to the quarterfinals in 1990–91 after beating Dundalk and Derry City.[5]
The committee of Ashtown Villa FC had a vision to bring in schoolboy football to the community based on one club operating in Scribblestown at the all-weather facilities which is complemented with two grass pitches and a modern club house.[citation needed]
The club's playing facilities at Scribblestown Lane consist of two floodlit, artificial turf pitches (one full-size, one 5-a-side), one 7-a-side grass pitch and one 9-a-side grass pitch.[6][7]
Phoenix also retains their original clubhouse from the 1960s in Martin Savage Park. Dublin City Council provides the club with the use of two full-size grass pitches and one 7-a-side pitch at the same location.[6][7]
