    Dublin Clubs in the Irish League

    Pre-independence, both Bohemians and Shelbourne were mainstays of the Irish League, mostly struggling against their Belfast counterparts, but both managed to collect silverware in their two decades of membership, winning the Irish Cup four times between them. Of course, partition ultimately led to the FAI's formation, so could it be said that the split ultimately led to the nationwide spread of the game, as the development of clubs in Munster and Connacht would hardly have been promoted by continuing Belfast dominance?

    This goes into great detail about Bohs history and the early rivalries as well as a little bit about the gradual growth of the game across the country.

    The game would have grown nationally in my opinion with or without partition. I don't think it was Belfast dominance that was holding it back.

    Sandymount/Ringsend

    Tritonville Road is in Sandymount/Ringsend area.

    Nearly moved into a gaff on that road last year.

    If you saw the gaff you'd know I am in no uncertain terms rich.

    It's mostly plush from what I've seen of it. I have family down there and any time I visit I feel like the neighbours are all locking their windows as I go past.
