Letterkenny Rovers Football Club is a football club from Ireland currently competing in the Irish Ulster Senior League. The club is based in Letterkenny and works closely with League of Ireland First Division side Finn Harps F.C. Many of Rovers' players go on to sign contracts with Finn Harps. Letterkenny play their home games at Leckview Park. Letterkenny also compete in the FAI Cup. Letterkenny recently won the Ulster Senior League. At the end of 2006, the club began preparation for a huge step up by applying for a semi-professional license with the hope of competing in the new third division of the FAI National League. Their stadium will undergo serious renovations and the backroom staff will soon gain official UEFA coaching licences.
[edit] Under 21 Team
Letterkenny Rovers' Under 21 team currently competes with the League of Ireland's top teams in the Under 21 league and cup. Shay Given's younger brother Paul, currently plays for the team. Many of the players now playing for the under-21 team represented Letterkenny in the Under 18 Foyle Cup in 2006. They finished runners up to Glentoran F.C. under 18s. Former Finn Harps manager and current Derry City assistant manager Anthony Gorman managed this side and was so impressed by many of the youngsters' dazzling displays of skill and professional maturity that he even offered some of them full time contracts.
