The Irish Fantasy Football League

Jun 27, 2022

We’re excited! We are introducing a new product line, the Irish Fantasy Football League, designed by our one and only Neville Gardner. It combines the love of football with a unique logo for many areas of Ireland in particularly  colorful and creative graphic designs. We hope you will love it as much as we do!  Unlike the United States, Ireland has many different kinds of football. Many call soccer, football, and of course there’s Gaelic football and rugby football. Needless to say, football is a really big sport in Ireland and it seemed fitting to represent all the different parts of Ireland, and many different sensibilities, to come up with a really nice range of products that would help people identify with their homes. To that end we started with regional T-shirts and will soon add coffee mugs, shot glasses and various other products to the line. Our most popular design so far is the Mayo Hibernians Ball Club T-shirt. Like all our shirts, it is done in 100% ring spun cotton done locally in the Lehigh Valley. It features next level quality with a really soft ring spun cotton.  The designs are in full color and are really cool. We have the Dublin Wanderers, Clare Harps, Belfast United, Cork Mariners, Donegal Banshees, Kerry Kings, Mayo Hibernians, Shamrock Athletic, Sligo Dragons, Tyrone Football, Waterford City and, of course, the Galway Pirates (you know, the home of the pirate queen, Gráinne O’Malley). All shirts are available in S-XXXL and are priced at $29.95. They are in stock at the store and are up on our website at donegalsquare.com. If you want to find something really cool and different, these shirts are it-they are short-sleeved black shirts with fantastic colors and designs. They’re really a fun range of products. Check us out at donegalsquare.com to take a look or come into the shop. You won’t be disappointed!

Plan your visit

At age 11, I sold a farmer’s wife a bra in the Ladies Dress Shop that my Mum ran in Lisburn, Northern Ireland. So began my entrepreneurial adventure. Fairly early on I knew a career involving entrepreneurship, sales, and being around people was in the cards for me.  

Growing up in Lambeg, a small village eight miles from Belfast, I was reared partly by my Granny McCarthy while my Mum went to work. My Mum and Dad had gone to work early in life with no opportunity for advanced education because of their family circumstances and the outbreak of World War II. Even though my parents didn’t have an abundance of money, there was always food on the table. Great breads, scones and baked goods were always part of my upbringing.

Sports have always been a huge part of my life, and because of my love for them I managed to get a Grammar School Education by receiving a scholarship (which also enabled me to participate in all the sports I enjoyed). When I first came to the USA to live, following a trans-Atlantic field hockey romance, I was drawn to the idea of importing the things from Ireland and the UK that I missed the most. Following a period of experimenting with importing tweeds and knitwear for wholesale, I realized there was potential for a business in the Lehigh Valley. The ultimate goal for my wife and I (I married a local woman, Linda Shay, the same woman from the trans-Atlantic field hockey romance back in 1978) was to create a comfortable, friendly, warm atmosphere with a rich cultural experience — as if you were visiting Ireland.
