Templeogue · Dublin 6W
Templeogue United F.C. has grown from one local schoolboy team into a large Tymon Park club, with football across academy, girls, boys, Leinster Senior League and Over 35 groups.
From St Jude’s to Templeogue United
The club history traces the start back to 1977, when St. Jude’s Football & Athletic Club entered one team in the South Dublin Boys Football League. The early games were around Osprey Drive and Orwell Park Green, before the club found a lasting football home in Tymon Park.
Templeogue United took its present name in 1987. By then, the club had nine teams in the South Dublin Boys League, three in the DDSL and two soccer pitches allocated in Tymon Park.
The club’s ClubZap profile also carries 1977 as the founding year, matching the club history.
Wellington Lane, Tymon Park and Tymon Turf
Templeogue United places its clubhouse off Wellington Lane and its home games in Tymon Park. Small sided teams use pitches beside the clubhouse, while full size pitches are a short walk away across the park.
The all weather pitch behind the clubhouse is a big part of the club day. The history page says the 95 metre by 60 metre Tymon Turf project opened in November 2002, after Templeogue United and St Jude’s GAA worked together through Willington Community Holdings.
Football from the academy to senior teams
Templeogue United says it has more than 40 teams in the DDSL, South Dublin Football League and Dublin Women’s Football League, with senior men’s football in the Leinster Senior League.
The team contacts page covers academy, girls, boys, Leinster Senior League and Over 35 football. That gives a clear picture of the pathway, even though team names and league entries can move each season.
The Foundations Academy page says boys and girls aged 4 to 7 train on Sundays from 8:45am to 10:00am on the all weather pitch, with Richie Towell named in the academy setup.
Squads: Templeogue United is a big club, so the match links will keep improving as each team is tied to the right season. The academy, girls, boys, senior men and Over 35 pathway is already clear.
A look around the facilities
The club’s own facilities video gives visitors a clear feel for Wellington Lane, the clubhouse and the pitch layout. It is worth checking before a first trip because the Templeogue setup covers more than one pitch area around Tymon Park.
Girls football and club honours
The club history gives girls football a strong place in the Templeogue story. It records U10, U12 and U14 girls league wins with perfect records in 1999, with two of those teams also winning cups.
The same history says every underage girls team won a league, cup or shield in 2001, and that the U14 girls won the club’s first All Ireland Trophy. It also records a 1983 Community Games All Ireland win for a Templeogue U12 team representing St Jude’s, plus a 2001 Community Games indoor 5 a side title at U13 level.
Those honours are best read with their named teams and years. They show the strength of the club, without turning one team’s achievement into a claim for every Templeogue side.
Links with the wider game
The club history names former Templeogue footballers who moved to English clubs, including Barry Quinn, Colm Daly, Andrew Cousins and Clive Delaney. It also notes the Richard Dunne family link through former clubhouse manager Dick Dunne.
Templeogue United has an official partnership with Shamrock Rovers. The partnership page says Rovers work with Templeogue players and coaches each week and praises the club’s facility upgrade.
Joining and visiting
Families can start through the official ClubZap membership route or use the club contact page for football, academy and senior enquiries.
For match days, check the team notice or fixture before travelling. Templeogue United uses the Tymon Park complex, with pitches beside the clubhouse and other pitches a short walk away, so the age group and pitch number are worth checking.
