Ballina Town F.C.

Ballina Town F.C. was founded on 8 December 1961 in Geraghty's public house in Ballina. Originally the club was named St Patrick's F.C. but six months later it adopted the name of its hometown.[1] The club subsequently joined the Mayo Association Football League and finished as runners-up in 1966–67. They were runners up again in 1973–74, 1974–75, 1985–86 and 1987–88. In 1976–77 they also won the Connacht Junior Cup.[2]

Between 1989–90 and 1999–2000 Ballina Town's senior team played in the Connacht Senior League. In 1989–90, while playing in the CSL, Ballina Town became the first club from County Mayo to play in the first round of the FAI Cup. However they were defeated 4–0 by Shelbourne. Ballina Town were also runners-up to Mervue United in the 1992–93 Connacht Senior Cup.[1][3][4][5]

After finishing as runners-up in the Mayo Association Football League on five previous occasions, Ballina Town became Mayo champions for the first time in 1988–89. They then had to wait for twenty years before winning a second title in 2009. They retained the title in 2010 and won a fourth title in 2013.[2]
