About Us
Ballyfermot is a close knit community, proud of it’s traditions and it’s people. Many who were born and raised in “Ballyer” can now be found settled all over Dublin, but always stay true to their heritage and upbrnging. The suburb itself is home to some 30,000+ inhabitants, and offers many amenities with many recreational areas, plenty of shops, numerous pubs, a fantastic new Civic Centre and a massive new community leisure centre is only a couple of years off. Located less than four miles from the centre of Dublin, the area is close to many other suburbs and the club has attracted players from Clondalkin, Bluebell, Palmerstown, Lucan and Mayo!!!! The club are still in the process of trying to identify where Gerry Courtney came from so expect the above list to be updated soon!!!
A Brief History
Formed in 1953 the club is now celebrating it’s 50th Anniversary! There was no shortage of football and hurling talent back then (probably due to the Christian Brothers schools in the area) and the club quickly thrived on the abundance of ability available. Before long theclub became well recognised. and respected, and this didn’t go unnoticed by the inter county selectors at the time! With the recent improvements in the club structure and form it is hoped that one day a Ballyfermot DLS man will line out in the Dublin Senior panel.
