Wakehurst is an intermediate, Northern Irish football club playing in NIFL Championship 2. The club, founded in 1969, hails from Ballymena, although home matches are played at Moyola Park's ground at Mill Meadow. Wakehurst formerly played at the second pitch at the Ballymena Showgrounds, home of Ballymena United, but for 2009/10 this pitch was deemed not to meet the criteria for the Championship, and home games were played at the ground of Tobermore United in Tobermore, County Londonderry, for that season; Wakehurst moved to Castledawson for 2010/11.〔Ballymena Times, (Wakehurst forced to play outside Ballymena next season ), 15-05-2009〕〔''Homeless Wakehurst need to find a speedy resolution'', The Park, p.13, Belfast Telegraph, 30 August 2010〕 It is the club's intention eventually to return to Ballymena.〔(Wakehurst FC appeal for Council help to end three-year ‘exile’ from Ballymena )〕 Club colours are black, and white (home) and red and white (away). The current manager is Paul Muir who previously played for Wakehurst, Ballymena United, Lisburn Distillery and Crusaders amongst others after taking over from long-time boss Ian Gregg in May 2015. Muir's assistant is former Motherwell and Ballymena United player Neil Candlish and Stephen McKelvey is in the role of First Team Coach. The club's reserve side - Wakehurst Strollers - play in Division Two of the Ballymena and Provincial League and are managed by player / manager Jason Connolly who is assisted by Declan O'Boyle and Michael Kerr. The club played at junior level in the Ballymena & District League and Northern Amateur League until stepping up to intermediate football in 2003.〔H. Johnstone & G. Hamilton (n.d.)
