Over the years, we have brought home silverware in the annual DLTC Floodlit, Senior, Winter and Summer league competitions across all categories. Alongside the competitive element, the inter-club competitions give us the opportunity to visit other clubs across Dublin, socialise and keep us ‘match fit’!
