Salthill Devon have just completed their 4th and last season in the League of Ireland. They competed in the A League for 2 years prior to getting promoted to the First Division but we can’t count that as LOI football.

In their 4 years in the League, Salthill Devon (Called SD Galway in 2012) finished bottom each time and didn’t win a single FAI/League Cup tie against League opposition. They may go down as the worst LOI club of all time.

Here is their season-by-season record

Here’s their home and away splits

So they’ve only won 13 league games in the regular season. They have only beaten 7 clubs in that time; Mervue United (3 times), Wexford Youths (3), Cobh Ramblers (2), Finn Harps (2), Athlone Town (1), Cork City/Foras (1), Longford Town (1).

Those figures don’t include Salthill winning a relegation play off against Cobh Ramblers (they won both home and away games) at the end of the 2010 season. That play off win may be the highlight of Salthill’s LOI tenure.

Salthill Devon in the Cups

Their cup record in this period is nothing to be proud of either. They have faced fellow LOI teams on 6 occasions and have exited the competition each time. A 1-1 draw in the FAI Cup away to Galway United in 2010 being the only time they weren’t beaten first time out.

They have played non-league opposition 4 times. They beat Tullamore Town (in the 2010 FAI Cup) and Fanad United (in the 2011 League Cup) while they lost to Sheriff YC (2011 FAI Cup) and Castlebar Celtic (2010 League Cup).
