South Dublin · DDSL · 2026–2027
Lakelands FC
Green-and-black youth football serving Stillorgan, Dundrum, Sandyford and Blackrock from a network of local pitches.
Club identity
A voluntary South Dublin football club
Lakelands Football Club is a voluntary children and youth soccer club serving the Stillorgan, Dundrum, Sandyford and Blackrock areas of South County Dublin. The club’s public profile traces its story to 1978 and describes a programme for boys, girls, young men and young women of different ages and abilities.
The IYF record connects Lakelands with the DDSL for 2026–2027. The live relationship remains the authority for the exact squads, divisions and season-specific records.
Youth pathway
Academy through senior football
Lakelands describes a pathway from its younger academy groups through schoolboy and schoolgirl teams, youth boys’ and girls’ teams, under-19 and senior squads. The club’s public information has described more than 40 schoolboy and schoolgirl teams and a player base of more than 600, with current pages also showing a broad under-8 to under-18 programme.
The native Teams module supplies the current 2026–2027 age-group and competition relationships. That keeps the profile useful without treating older club totals or a changing public list as an exhaustive IYF team register.
Colours and crest
Green and black Lakelands identity
The DDSL record gives green and black as Lakelands’ club colours, with black recorded for the change strip. The circular crest carries the Lakelands F.C. name, a tree, the Irish word “Lochán”, three wave lines and an “Est-1978” mark in a green-and-black palette.
The enhanced crest preserves those local symbols and the founding mark while adding a polished three-dimensional finish. Native club, team, fixture and table cards can continue to reuse the same canonical identity.
Pitches and match days
A network of South Dublin venues
Lakelands publishes pitch information for Marlay Park, St Tiernan’s Community School, St John of God Hospital, Leopardstown Park and Balally Hill. The IYF record connects the club with Marlay Park Pitch 1 at A94 DT86, while club fixture information also uses Marlay Park pitches, Stepaside Astro and other local grounds across the programme.
Parking and access differ by venue, so families should check the individual fixture card and the club’s match-day directions before travelling. Native venue data remains the deciding source when a team is moved from its usual training base.
Football programme
Local football for boys and girls
Lakelands’ published fixtures show DDSL girls’ and boys’ age groups from the younger divisions through under-18, as well as youth and senior football. The club’s academy gives younger children a first step into football, while training on all-weather pitches supports regular sessions across the South Dublin area.
Fixtures, results and standings should be read through the connected modules for the current season. They keep each competition and venue attached to the right team instead of blending multiple age groups into one club-level result.
Community and joining
Inclusive football with practical local access
Lakelands presents itself as a community club that encourages children and young people of all abilities to play and enjoy football. Its public channels include child-welfare information, team and academy details, pitch guidance and current contact routes for families considering membership.
Families should confirm current age-group places, fees, academy sessions, training times, safeguarding information and equipment requirements through the club. The live IYF team, fixture, result and standings connections then provide the verified season record for each registered squad.
