History


The club was formed in 1936 as Letterkenny Crusaders before being given its current name in 1954.

At the end of 2006, the club began preparation for an application for a semi-professional license to compete in the new A Championship but the Championship was cancelled at the end of the 2011 season. However, in 2010, the club erected a new 200 seater stand at Leckview Park in phase one of the re-development of the venue.[1]

The 2015/2016 season saw Rovers, under the guidance of Eamon McConigley, achieve notable success. Having overcome Derry City Reserves to win the Knockalla Caravans Cup, the first-team went on to reach the final of the FAI Intermediate Cup at the Aviva Stadium, going down 5-0 to Crumlin United.
