Achill Rovers History - The Early Years


During the 1940s and 1950s young  men  of Achill, on returning  home for holidays while working seasonally in England & Scotland, would organise and play soccer . Several teams were formed including the mighty Dooniver Swifts, as well as great sides from Ashleam & Dooega.

(This section will be updated in the near future with a more comprehensive history of Dooniver Swifts ).
