Club identity

A Lucan football community

The academy is the starting point for younger players, with sessions formed around fun, inclusion and confidence. The club’s joining information covers academy places and underage teams from U8 through U18, subject to squad availability.

Current age groups, team names, competitions and seasonal relationships are shown by the native Teams module, keeping each squad linked to its own match record.

Blue, white and a Celtic cross

Esker Celtic’s published club information lists blue-and-white home colours, with red-and-blue used for the alternate strip. The enhanced crest preserves the circular badge, Celtic cross and blue-and-white stripes with a raised gold finish.
