History

We are a small community called Forthill in the town of Sligo in Ireland. Forthill is known as the home of soccer in Sligo, Glenview Stars F C has a long history dating back to the early 1900s when they were known simply as the Stars F C, there is some suggestion that it goes back further than that but I will be doing some research into that and I`m sure I will find out. In 1928 when Sligo Rovers were being formed St Marys and the Stars amalgamated and so became Sligo Rovers, in the first year they reached the final of the Junior cup beating Grangegorman 3-0.

Over the Years since that The Stars played off and on and then in the 1950s the name Glenview was added to it and they became Glenview Stars. It has been run more or less continually over the years since , the present set up was formed in 1995 and is still going strong. On of the greatest achievements of the club has been the development of the under age system teams from under 8s up to under 18s both girls and boys about 100 in all and we hope it will continue to grow.
