Shamrock Rovers B is the reserve team of Shamrock Rovers. Throughout its history Rovers have entered reserve teams in various leagues including the Leinster Senior League, the League of Ireland B Division, the A Championship and the League of Ireland First Division.
History
Leinster Senior League
Between the 1920s and the 1960s Shamrock Rovers B played in the Leinster Senior League. They were the Senior Division champions twice, in 1924–25 and 1939–40. On both occasions Jimmy Dunne played a leading role. In 1924–25 the young Jimmy Dunne was kept out of the Rovers first team by the legendary forward-line known as the "Four F's" – Billy Farrell, Bob Fullam, John Fagan and John Joe Flood. However Dunne played regularly for the reserve team, helping them win both the Leinster Senior League and the LFA Metropolitan Cup, the league cup of the Leinster Senior League. During the 1939–40 season Dunne was the teams player-coach. Once again Rovers B completed a double by also winning the LFA Metropolitan Cup. Rovers B also won the Metropolitan Cup on six further occasions.[1][2][3][4][5]
League of Ireland B Division
Between 1964–65 and 2004–05, Shamrock Rovers B played in the League of Ireland B Division. Together with Home Farm, Bray Wanderers, Athlone Town and the reserve teams of Shelbourne, Bohemians, St Patrick's Athletic, Dundalk, Drumcondra and Drogheda, they had been founding members of the B Division in 1964–65. In 1967–68 Shamrock Rovers B won the Blackthorn Trophy which was awarded to the overall winners of the league.[6] Rovers B went on to win three more league titles in 1984–85, 1986–87 and 1995–96[4][7]
A Championship
Between 2008 and 2011, Rovers' reserve team competed in the A Championship. Because of the name of the league, the team was referred to as Shamrock Rovers A. The team was managed by Andrew Myler. With Myler in charge Rovers won the 2009 A Championship [8][9] and the 2010 League of Ireland U20 Division.
League of Ireland First Division
In December 2013 Rovers received permission from the Football Association of Ireland to enter a team in the 2014 League of Ireland First Division. [10] They took the place vacated after Mervue United and Salthill Devon withdrew from the league to make way for Galway F.C.. [10][11][12] However, after a disappointing season, during which they finished sixth, the club decided it was not financially viable to continue in the league and they subsequently withdrew. Rovers B were replaced in the 2015 First Division by Cabinteely.[13][14]
