Shamrock Rovers have a rich history and association with Ringsend. The club was founded on Shamrock Avenue which is now the square, in 1901 and the area has provided the club with many players over the years. They have won 24 FAI cups and there was a Ringsender on the team every time. Now David Cassidy from Ringsend is a member of the Rovers first team squad.

There is now a supporters club which had its first meeting on 10th February. They met at Gleeson’s pub which is at the back of the Vintage. The Club is open to all ages and membership is €15 a year for adults and €5 a year for children under 18. The club has 40 members and is your ticket to all of Shamrock Rovers matches via minibus.

Rovers play on Friday nights at 8 pm in Tolka Park and the trips will be the same when the team moves to Tallaght. The club visits the away games too and all excursions leave from Gleeson’s. The Supporters club was the brainchild of Ed Saul and James MacClean. They are Chairman and Assistant, Justin Mason is Treasurer. New members are welcome.

Rovers were relegated from the premier league last year and are now first division, but the club’s excitement and support is still as strong as ever.
