Welcome to Lucan United Football Club

---

Shamrock Rovers and Lucan United F.C. have entered a partnership which sees both clubs working together to give children from the Lucan area  and further afield a pathway to professional football in this country. 

Speaking on behalf of Shamrock Rovers, Shane Robinson (Academy Director) said:

 “This is an exciting partnership for Shamrock  Rovers. Over the last two years we have been slowly growing the  relationship and this is the next step for both. Lucan United is a  forward thinking club with some great people behind it. Our  existing partnerships with Corduff and the KDUL are already proving to  be very beneficial for both sides. We have a unique games programme in  place with both and look forward to adding Lucan United to the  programme.

Lucan United have close to 800 players playing for  the club in the Dublin District Schoolboy League (31 teams), Leinster  Senior League (2 teams) and the Metropolitan Girls League (9 teams)  along with an over 35’s team.

The close proximity of Lucan to Tallaght and the  population of the every expanding South Dublin area makes this a good  move for both clubs. It provides a pathway in and out of both clubs and  we believe that we can make each other stronger  and stronger by being able to provide appropriate levels of football  for all kids. We will continue to compete which each other on the pitch  and help each other off it.

We are all looking forward to working with the people of Lucan United and welcome them to the Football Club.”

 Keith Hyland, Chairperson of Lucan United, said:

“Lucan United is delighted to announce a working  partnership with Shamrock Rovers FC, Ireland’s most successful football  club. This partnership will provide Lucan United with access to  additional coaching expertise from SRFC coaches, further  developing the strong coaching ethos of Lucan United and also provide  support for our coaching initiative in local schools. It is an  opportunity for both clubs to further grow and present a pathway for  elite players at all age groups right through to the SSE  Premier Division. This is an exciting development for Lucan United and  we look forward to working closely with the team at Shamrock Rovers in  the coming season"
