“We at Corduff are honoured and delighted to be able to announce this working partnership with Shamrock Rovers, Ireland’s most successful club at a national level,” he said.
“With the exponential growth and success at a local level that we have seen at Corduff, it is only fitting that we move forward and partner with a top League of Ireland Club, and allow elite players from Northwest Dublin the opportunity to progress in the national league with a club that shares the same strategic values and vision as we do.

Jonathan Roche, chairman of Shamrock Rovers, echoed Morley’s sentiments, saying: “The work being done by Corduff, on and off the pitch, is very impressive and inspiring.
