History
Playing in the NTDL for the past few years, Kinnitty
Rovers have made a name for themselves on the soccer
pitch.
Foundation
Kinnitty Rovers was founded in 1997, when we played
with the NT+DL
for our first season.
The
period between 1988 - 1993 we played in the Leinster
League, before returning to the fold of the NT+DL in
1994, and we have played there ever since.
Achievements
1998 was our glory year, where we won both the Divison
3 Championship and Shield! Our youths teams have done
us proud as well, winning a stream of championships
and cups at levels as they rose through the ranks.

Achtung!
Kinnitty Attack!!!
Germany was on high alert during 2001, as the team from
the Leoni plant in Birr town arrived to compete
in the Leoni Group Challenge Cup .
Featuring
Kinnitty players in the form of Seamus O' Brien
in goals, and Jim Spain in attack, this formidable
force done themselves proud against Egypt, England and
two German sides, finally bowing out in the Semi Final
stages.
Kinnitty
Rovers were proud to assist the team in the use of our
facilities at Castle Fields in their preparation for
the match, and to show their gratitude they had the
audacity to beat us on home ground in the practice match!
Everyone
knows, however, that the Kinnitty forwards did not want
to upset Seamus too much by scoring too many goals past
him, hence the Leoni victory!
