General Information
|
Shelbourne are one of the two League of Ireland founding members still competing in the league, the other club being Bohemian F.C.
Originally from Ringsend, the club is now based in Tolka Park in Drumcondra. They have been the most successful club in Ireland over the last decade, but recent problems have seen the club demoted to the First Division.
‘The Reds’ have a proud history in the League of Ireland and are currently building themselves back-up after financial problems led to them dropping a division. |
