| HISTORY - Freewheelers of Clondalkin |
| The following is a look back at some important dates in Freewheelers History. I was 10 when the club was formed so forgive the huge gaps that may appear here. In saying that, if there any past players or past commitee members out there who would like me to include anything else (so that the history is not lost forever) then please email the following address with the details. [email protected] - Any old pictures etc. would be especially welcome. |
