Swords Celtic Football Club was founded in 1962 by George McGrane, Jim Rogers, Oliver Dignam and Wally Galvin and shortly afterwards Frankie Monaghan got involved. The club’s early successes included a number of league titles and the Subsidiary Cup in 1973. Since 1972, when Frankie started the first Swords Celtic schoolboy team, schoolboy football has become progressively stronger in the club. In
the late 1980’s, the club began a phased programme of development to bring us where we are today. Today we can boast having teams from the age of 6 years of age right up to senior level, with teams at every age group possible. Our latest transition into the DDSL leagues will surely improve the club going forward and our aim for our 50th anniversary must surely be to deliver success at the highest level possibly both in the Schoolboy section and at senior level.We currently have 6 senior teams with our first team competing in major sunday just outside the intermediate leagues. Whatever the future holds for the club, there’s no doubt George, Jim, Oliver, Wally and Frankie could ever have anticipated the growth and success their venture into the world of Soccer would yield. Many thanks to all many volunteers who over the years have given up their time to bring Swords Celtic to where we are today.
