Ladies:
The Ladies section was formed in 2006 and since then has gone from strength to strength, and now boasts two teams competing in the Leinster Leagues.
As with any new team YMCA Ladies had to start in the lowest division in Leinster and have since then been working their way up! They have managed the impressive feat of six consecutive promotions and now play in Division 2.
The 2nd XI have also enjoyed success since their formation in 2007 and now compete in Division 6.

Colts:
The Junior/Colts section in YMCA has been one of the most successful in Ireland for a number of years and is seen as core to the success of the Senior Club. As a result, a significant amount of time, effort & resources goes into the coaching and nurturing of talent at this level and our Senior Club, Leinster & Ireland Representatives, as well as First Team players, are active in taking part in as many sessions as possible.
