Leixlip United had existed for the seasons of 1959–60,1960–61 and 1961–62 before problems arising from a shortage of local players caused the club to fold.

In 1969 when Leixlip United reformed they benefited from players who had played in the Leinster Senior League for Ormeau including Theo Watkins, a junior international goalkeeper.

After the land had been occupied by the two schools the schoolboy section played at Greenlane and the Juniors secured a pitch in Dodsboro with assistance from Lucan United.

The club found a home due to the kindness of the Honourable Desmond Guinness on his land in Leixlip village the schoolboy section and Juniors played their matches upon this ground.

This season saw Leixlip play some thrilling attacking football finishing third in the league behind Newbridge and Portmarnock respectively.

Only losing one game between November and May and a 2–1 win over Senior Division challengers Crumlin United in the Metropolitan Cup being two highlights for the club during this season.
