History of Wexford
Football League
Wexford county has a long soccer tradition
dating back to 1912 when Billy
Lacey from Enniscorthy signed for Liverpool
FC. Lacey first recorded soccer team in Wexford is John St Volunteers,
a converted GAA football team. In 1928, one year after the club was formed,
it went on to reach the Leinster Junior Cup Final losing by the odd goal
in three to Dundalk. Wexford's first proper soccer club was St Cormacs
founded in 1958.
In 1959, following a meeting in a hotel
in Enniscorthy, five clubs decided to form a dedicated Wexford soccer
league. The five clubs represented were Ballymoney, Enniscorthy, Gorey,
St Cormacs, and St Johns Athletic. The next year, in a meeting attended
by officials from the Leinster Football Association and officials from
the Football Association
of Ireland, the draw for the inaugural Cup was held. Approval was
also given to the the establishment of the Wexford and District League.
At this stage the league included soccer clubs from County Carlow.
In terms of achievements on the soccer
pitch Wexford football history was made in 1982 when New Ross Celtic became
the first Wexford soccer club to win the Leinster Junior Cup.
The Wexford Football League is affiliated
to the Leinster Football Association and the Football Association of Ireland.
