Quick History...

"Established in the summer of 2006, this club went on to play in the astro.ie league. After a poor start, middle and end, Balaga Tongo ended up a satisfactory 2nd place..from bottom. Highlights from the season were drawing with the team in 2nd place and the numerous scuffles we had on the pitch.

The 2007 season begins on Sept 12. Management are excited about this season as the summer signings brought in look to eager to win. The club will retain the green colours. A Russian consortium had made it their plan to take over Balaga Tongo also during the summer, and a name change was on the cards. However Balaga Cucumbers did not get 100% commitment and now the clubs nickname is "The Cucumbers" after the eh green jerseys."
