Casement Rovers  Winners of the under 14 Finglas Roads league, 1964.  
   
I was a keen footballer in my early teens and the local team I played for, Casement Rovers, won the roads league
in 1964. The Rovers were managed by my dad, 'Mr. Slevin' as he was known in the area where he was also much in demand by the local sports club as a respected and astute referee. We prevailed over co-finalists Mellows Road 3-1, and the trophy was presented by the local parish priest and great character, Father Lynch. The Rovers were a great bunch of guys, and I say a warm Dublin "howayeh" to any of them who may find this website. If you are an ex-rover, please do drop me a line at info@jimi-slevin.net  and say hello - I'd be delighted to hear from you provided I don't owe you any money. 

(Back row L-R) Mr. Jim Slevin (manager & trainer), Pat Carbury, Gerry Heapes, Jim Carbury, Bert Robinson (goalie), Patrick Cooke, Michael O'Carroll (older brother of the famous Brendan!), Tony Boyle, (front row) Gerry Smith, Tom McGee, Ronald O'Sullivan (captain), Jimi Slevin and Dessie Sands. Last and probably least too, though he'd never have admitted it, the Slevin family dog and team mascot, 'Ruff'.
