  • 1895-1970 – Non League 1970-1978 – Loi B Years
    History Friday, 01 January 2010 00:00 1895-1970 – Non league In 1895, the Catholic University Medical School Cecilia Street Football Club was founded, entering a team in the inaugural Leinster Junior League. The team's first match was against Bohemians B in October of 1895 and ended in a 2-0 defeat. November 1895 also saw the first match against Trinity with a result of 2-0 to Cathlolic University. 1898 Catholic University qualified for the Leinster Senior Cup for the first time - and we reached the semi-final. In 1908, the Catholic University merged with University College Dublin, and the team changed name with the merger. Things weren't quite settled yet, though, as we went through a series of grounds - in Sandymount, Cowper Road, Croydon Park, Fairview and Terenure before moving to Belfield Park in 1935 and now the UCD Bowl in 2008. In the meantime, though, success had been regular. In 1914, we won the inaugural Collingwood Cup - the Irish collegiate championships. The next year, UCD won the IFA Intermediate Cup, beating Portadown 2-1 in a replay in Dalymount Park. The first match had seen UCD draw in Windsor Park on St Patrick's Day. The competition was the 'IFA' Cup because in those days before independence, the IFA governed football over the whole island, and the competition involved teams from the whole island. The Intermediate Cup was one step below the Senior Cup in importance, so it was certainly of some significance. UCD were also involved in the first ever FAI Senior Cup in 1921, when they took on a non-league side at the time, Shamrock Rovers, in Windy Arbour, losing 6-2.

The school has had a very busy year with many successes. We had a WSE-MLL Inspection by the Dept of Education & Science which saw the Inspectorate visit the school over a three-week period in November. As Principal, I’d like to take this opportunity to thank all the staff, students, parents and Board of Management for their efforts during the inspection. Since our last publication, we’ve had many great successes involving our pupils, achievements that we as a school community take great pride in. I’d like to congratulate all the pupils on their excellent Leaving and Junior Certificate results. These are as a result of great work by our school community with the parents, teachers and pupils working together so that the students can reach their full potential. There were Entrance Scholarships to UCC for Conor O’Donovan and UCD for Adam Healy, Mike Varnum and Evan Mahony, awarded for their excellent Leaving Certificate results, with a special mention for Johnny Durcan who received the UCC Quercus Elite Sports Scholarship for sailing. As ever, our 3rd Year cohort did not disappoint with an outstanding array of Junior Certificate results in September, with Adam O’Brien, Illann Wall and Conor Casey being In other sports, Mel Deasy represented Ireland in golf, AJ recognised by the school for their excellent performances in Whelan has represented Ireland in Taekwon-Do again, Conor their exams.
