Liffeybank FC football
Liffeybank FC gives local players a route through youth football, with St Catherines Park, Co Kildare at the heart of club football.
Club identity
Founded by four friends in 1991
Liffeybank FC was founded in 1991 by Jim Keating, John Kenny, Peter Connolly and Tony Flattery. The crest reflects the club’s river setting with waves and an orange boat, alongside fish and shell emblems and a ribbon carrying the 1991 date.
The club’s public history gives the page a clear local identity rooted in Leixlip and the Liffey corridor rather than a generic football label.
Reformation and growth
A renewed club with an inclusive pathway
Liffeybank reformed in 2019 with an initial emphasis on female teams, then expanded to boys, girls and adult football. The academy introduces younger children to the game before league football becomes the next step in the pathway.
The current connected Teams module keeps the 2026–2027 squads and competition relationships separate, giving each age group its own fixtures, results and table context.
Colours and crest
Blue and black vertical stripes
The recorded home colours are blue and black vertical stripes. The change colours are sky blue and white vertical stripes, providing a clear alternative kit for matches where the home colours overlap.
The enhanced crest preserves the original grey shield, riverboat, waves, fish, shell and yellow Liffeybank ribbon while giving the badge a sharper finish for the page header and opening artwork.
St Catherine’s Park
A Leixlip-area football base
St Catherine’s Park in County Kildare is the recorded home ground. The club’s public material places Liffeybank in the Leixlip and Lucan area, making the park a practical local base for training, youth matches and adult football.
Check the individual fixture card before travelling: the named pitch, kick-off and venue can change between age groups and competitions.
Competition record
Youth and adult football in connected competitions
Liffeybank’s public club channels describe youth, adult and recreational football, while its DDSL record connects the current youth data to the 2026–2027 season. The club has also returned to senior league football after periods in other Dublin and Kildare competitions.
Use the native Fixtures, Results and Standings tabs to follow the exact team and competition. This keeps the club narrative complete without duplicating live feed records.
