Old Irish football grounds

[historynut]

Done a bit of googling which has resulted some thoughts -
Anglesea Road - If RDS would have been stated so, other possibilities Merrion CC, also Sports Ground rhs from Donnybrook end of road.
Bellevue Lodge -Is this Blackrock ?
Dolphin Park - Is ths a GAA ground now ?

We entered the league in 1930 as Waterford Celtic

Not true Partizan.

Waterford Celtic was a non-league side that participated in the 1929/30 FAI Cup.

The 'Celtic' part of the name was dropped before the club's first season in senior league football as Waterford FC (1930/1).

That's Old Belvedere's grounds that I mentioned earlier. That's the most likely I'd say.

Good list History Nut.



Dolphin Park Dublin-Dolphin 1930/31-1931/32 & 1934/35-1936/37

I believe Dolphin also played at Tolka - possibly in the gap between their stints at Dolphin Park ?


Green Lanes Dublin-Brideville 1939/40

I thought Brideville played at Harolds Cross continuously from 1929 until they dropped out in 1945 ??
