The Limestone Road is home to our club. The concept of cross-community runs deep in this area. During the early – mid 1900’s, people from all backgrounds would travel together through the Limestone Road to their workplaces. Many of these people worked in the shipyards of Belfast.

COMMUNITY

BRINGING US TOGETHER THROUGH SPORT

Brian founded Limestone United in 2011 as a way of bringing together the divided community of the Limestone Road.

Having retired, Brian was aware of the community divisions caused by The Troubles and seeked to reconcile this community.

Over the last few years, Brian has played a major part in bringing two sides together to create one team under a shared name.
