Welcome to Lakewood Athletic F.C

Employees of John A. Wood Ltd formed Lakewood Athletic F.C., in 1981, on whose grounds we have our playing pitches. After competing successfully in the Cork Inter House League and through the initiative of Jim Kelly, Noel Mullins and Denis Lucey it was decided to enter a team in the Cork AUL Junior League.
From 1981 to 1996, Lakewood was a junior club with one team.
In 1997, Denis Lucey and Donal O’Connor formed the Schoolboys section and since then the club has grown at an incredible rate.
The Schoolgirls started in 2000 and has grown considerably, mainly through Ger Cahill since then.
We amalgamated with Cork Rangers Ladies team in 2005, to provide Senior Ladies status for our Schoolgirls.

In 2007 we entered our first Senior Men’s team in the M.S.L., winning the Division 2 league title in our inaugural season.
Our Academy, run by Pat O’Connor and Noel Foley, cater for boys aged 6 to 10.

We now have more than 600 playing members and field 35 teams in various competitions in 5 different leagues. Our schoolboys, schoolgirls, men’s and ladies teams have all tasted considerable success at local, national and international tournaments in recent seasons.

A number of our players have represented Ireland at International level. Darren O’Connor being the first schoolboys representative followed by Jerry McCarthy.
Yvonne Cahill has captained Ireland and Olivia Lyons, Rebecca Kearney, Angela O’Mahony and Maria Delahunty have all won International Caps.

Undoubtedly, the highlights have been winning the U14 Boys National Cup in 2004 and the U14 Girls Munster Cup in 2005.
