Hi Tony
I hope you are keeping well
I put my guesses against the 13 names on the football team. The only two which i,m not 100% certain on is No 1 which I think is Peter Casey and No 5 which I think is Eugene Howley.
I think this team was called Balbriggan Youth Club , under 17s and they played their home matches at Glebe North. Glebe North did not have any under age teams then. Some of my friends are in this picture and I use to go up on a sunday morning to watch them play as they were very good. Peter Connolly and Martin Gorman RIP were 3 years older than me so I was about 14 when this pic was taken which would mean 1976 or 1977. 1988 is way out lol
best wishes
Adrian
Hi,
The recent photo on your website of the soccer team circa 1988 is actually the Balbriggan Youth club team of 1973/74. We won the u15 Dublin Schoolboys League the first year we entered it. The team was managed by Freddie Harper and Brian Barnett.
