Banrion & Hooligan Wheatens

Meet the Royals
Banríon (/ˈbˠan̪ˠɾʲiːn̪ˠ/) is derived from the Old Irish word ben rig or "woman of the king" and means queen; either a reigning female monarch or the wife of a king. Kiley was our queen and is the inspiration behind our name.
Meet the Hooligans
Hooligan [/ˈhuːlɪɡən/] started in London as slang from a possibly exaggerated/fictional Irish stereotype and evolved into a general term for unruly youth. While you won't find any of these guys starting trouble at a Shamrock Rovers FC match, you can find them stealing socks and being lovable mischief makers.
