History
[edit]Leeside was founded in 1968 under the name Island Albion. They played at Church Road until 1971 when the club suffered huge financial problems and struggled to field 11 players. Matches between St Lappans and Clash helped grow popularity in the Little Island area and Island Albion returned under the name of Little Island Athletic. They played on a field that was owned by then player Bill Cogan. The youth setup was the key to the clubs success in the 80s. They went the 1989–1990 season unbeaten, beating Coachford 4–1 on penalties in the cup final and gaining promotion to the premier division for the first time.
