There was a Junior League for 8-14 year-olds, probably two-touch in the Leinster Area in 1987 featuring teams from Coolock-Darndale (St. Brendan’s Youth Club) as well as Sutton, Bray Seahawks (Wicklow) and a team from Co. Offaly. A picture of one player, ‘ET’ Roche (Gulls) appeared in the Sunday Tribune in 1987.
