Last week we celebrated our Dublin players but unfortunately two were omitted, Siobhan Woods who is playing with both the Dublin Senior Ladies and Minor Footballers not to forget another great talent in Aoife Kelly who plays Camogie at minor level.
PLEASE mentors or parents could you send details of anyone of our players that have done the club proud by donning the Dublin Jersey. These players are inspirational for our up and coming talents. I am looking for photos of all our current county players in their Dublin gear for the notice board, could you forward same to pro.raheny.dublin@gaa.ie .
Hard luck to the Dublin Minor Camogie team beaten by Kilkenny in Gorey on Saturday, Again our Aoife Kelly scored two points from midfield but the young dubs missed too many chances and were beaten 4-10 to 1-12. Well done to Siobhan Woods and Dublin Minor Ladies who retained the leinster title with a great win in extra time

U12 football. Raheny 2. V Whitehall columbcille 2.

Great performance from all. Special mention to Eoin on his second goal of the week.
Under 8 Boys Gaelic Football weekend and Raheny 1 played ODwyers on 12a. Communion on in St Brigids this week so we called on some under 7 players to beef us up. Everybody played very well and enjoyed themselves. Honours ended even, well done to all 15 players.
Noel Cullen reports that Raheny 2 played Ballymun Kickhams up at St Kevins, ballygall rd. Both teams played their socks off. The boys were all winning ball all over the park. Hand passing,kicking were excellent. Some fine scores Cillian, Zack, Ciaran, Andrew, Sean, Brian, Matthew,Eoghan. Cillian worked ever so hard and we should have got a few more points in both games keep up the good work.
Ciaran played super games winning ball all day. Rueben played a holding role did very well. As for all the other boys on both teams they showed great strength to hold off the boys from THE MUN.
Well done everybody. Hurling training wednesday, St Annes. Keep an eye on teampage for news.
Saturday 12th May U11 Girls Football Vs Round Towers (Lusk)
The 2001 CFF Football were on the road on Saturday with a trip to Lusk. The game was played in glorious sunshine on the asto beside their clubhouse. A fairly competitive game was on the cards right from the start. We had a rolling sub for the day and we needed it as it was a warm evening. A good first half display from Raheny was met with a blistering response from Towers in the second half where their points tally counted in the end. A couple of soft goals did the damage but the Raheny contingent kept battling to the end. The end result didn't match the effort the girls put in but as the old cliche goes "it was a game of 2 halves". Someday maybe Emmily Allen can tell us how that point of her's went over.
Sunday 13th May U11's Camogie Vs Na Fianna and Castleknock.
The 2001 CFF played 3 competitive camogie matches on Sunday morning. The One Team League team had a great game against Na Fianna with the two Mias leading the scoring and Kate McHugh scoring a fine point. The Two Team League played Castleknock (who once again turned up short on numbers) and put up two great battling displays. Sinead Doherty excelled at full back while Nicole and Muireann fought well at mid field on Team Geoffrey, while Eilish, Beckie and Niamh Mc starred for Team Jeff.

Junior B Raheny 1-14 v Good Counsel 3-4. Hard Fought against a very tough good counsel team. After a bad straight run of 6 unanswered points had us 0-10 to 2-2 up at half time. A well taken goal in the second half by man of the match Paddy O Gara helped us close this game out and next up is a quarter final against St Brigids.
Junior D championship: Raheny:0gls 11pts. St.Brendans:0gls 9pts.
In a very competitive game with a real championship bite to it, Raheny emerged with a well deserved 2 point victory to qualify for the next round of the Junior D championship against St. Vincents in 2 weeks time. Showing real commitment from the start, the home side were the more dominant team in the first half with some fine fielding around the middle by Conor Henry and David Heffernan, but the team failed to convert some good scoring opportunities and were one point behind at the break.
The second half followed a somewhat similar pattern , with Raheny again dominating possession, but lacking the killer instinct to put the result beyond doubt and so making life hard on themselves. However, despite the setbacks of a number of missed opportunities, the team held its composure to assure victory in the end.
Scorers: Luke Dillon 4pts; Cian Daly 3pts; Rob O Neill 2pts; David Heffernan and Conor Henry 1 pt.each
Senior B camogie had a good win over Erins Isle on Thurs leaving them joint top of league with Clann na Gael. Score 5-4 to 1-4. Scoring for Raheny were Aoife Dooley, Eadaoin Mulcahy, Ciara Donnelly and Kate Dunne.
U14 Feile Report
On a pleasantly sunny May morn the Raheny 98's departed Raheny GAA Club to embarked upon their Feile journey. Travelling in convoy the team made their way across the city to the Thomastown pitches of host Club Cuala. Cuala put on a wonderful reception for all the visiting teams. There was a parade of the teams led by a piper. Goodie bags and a voucher for a burger and chips for all of the players. Tea, coffee, sambos and cakes for the parents and a great festival air about the whole event. Raheny's first opponents were the host team Cuala, and both teams appeared to get their Feile campaigns off to a decidedly slow start. It certainly took Raheny a long time to get into the swing of things and it wasn't until the final quarter that they started playing to their true ability. Unfortunately, at this stage Raheny were trailing by a goal and a couple of points so it was Cuala who emerged victorious from the first game.
Raheny's second opponent was Kilmacud Crokes, a powerful team currently sitting in second place of the division two league. By the time this match started Raheny were really firing on all cylinders. The game was a rip roaring rollercoaster ride of excitement. Both sides played with high intensity, trading points aplenty, along with a brace of goals. More than once Raheny's keeper Matt Dempsey made some sublimes saves to deny Kilmacud the rattle of the net. Late in the game, with only about five minutes to go, Shane Leahy pointed for Raheny drawing the two teams level. Shortly after Aran Kelly scored a superb long range effort to put Raheny in front by the tightest of margins. Not content to admit defeat Kilmacud threw everything they had at Raheny and were rewarded with a goal. Trailing by a goal and with only two minutes remaining on the clock it was Raheny's turn to throw the kitchen sink at Kilmacud. Their efforts were rewarded with a penalty when Kilmacud were deemed to have handled the ball on the ground in the square. Aran Kelly stepped up to take the shot and was unlucky to be denied the goal by a superb deflection by the Kilmacud keeper. With the clock running rapidly down to zero the match ended with Kilmacud the victors by the margin of a goal. The Kilmacud coaches were gracious in their victory and were heard to say to their Raheny counterparts that they were glad that the half was only twenty minutes long as their lads couldn't have handled much more of the pressure being exerted by the relentless Raheny attack.
The final game against Castleknock, although played competitively and in the spirit of the game, had an air of fun about it. Both Teams had lost their first two games so neither was in contention for a place in the semi-final. The game was played in good spirits with Castleknock emerging the eventual winner. All in all the event was an enjoyable day out for both the Team and their supporters, with perhaps the Kilmacud game representing the highlight of the football played, whilst the delights doled out by the burger van proved the most popular of culinary treats on the day. Fair play and hats off to Cuala for their excellent work as hosts. The Raheny 98's now get back to their primary goal and re-direct their focus on remaining at the top of Division three with a view to being eventual winners of their league.
U12 Hurling Raheny 4-4, Star of Erin 0-2. Raheny U12s made the long journey to Glencullen to play Stars of Erin last Saturday. Stars started off with an early pointed free but over all Raheny were the brighter of the two teams in the first half. Raheny got to grips with the game early and began some very fine passages of play again built on a very solid defence and battling midfield. Luke Mitchell who was having a great match on the full forward line got a very nasty injury to his leg and had to be replaced but Raheny kept up the pressure and went in ahead at the break 2-3 to 0-1. The second half started the same as the first with Stars of Erin scoring the first score of the second half but again Raheny were the hungrier on the day and faster to the breaking ball. In spite of some very hard tackling from Stars of Erin, Raheny stood up to it and with pure determination, skill and continued concentration on hurling, saw off a tough Stars of Erin side. All of the Raheny players put in a great effort from Goalie right through to the full forward line and really played as a team supporting the man with the ball at all times and giving plenty of options. Raheny added another 2 -1 to 0-1 in the second half and did not let Stars of Erin settle on the ball throughout the match. Liam Dunne was in fine scoring form in the forward line. Scorers were Liam Dunne, Sean Farrelly and Niall Walsh. Well done to the whole team.
Under Camogie 12s V Na Fianna
Beautiful day last Saturday where Under 12s played Na Fianna in the camogie 2 team league, winning one game by a point and loosing one game by a point. Red team had a nil all score at half time. Great goalkeeping by Alex Lawlor. Aishling, Sophie ,Kate and Ciara were strong in defence. Sinead Stack put a point over early on the first half and this was follwed by a quick goal by Kathlyn Close. Rachael Kilbane then bagged another goal . Na Fianna then scored 2 goals. One point in the game. Caragh Downey scored a goal from a shot 30 metres out. 6 minutes to go. Na Fianna got a goal. One point in the game. The Blue game was also nail- biting. Raheny were up one goal at half time.Laura, Aoife Baldwin, Ciara Duffy and Hannah battled hard Na Fianna were going for points. Na Fianna had a great free taker who was almost 6 ft tall, 4 points over the bar. Game over one point down. Well Done to all the Raheny Girls!
Scoil Assaims had yet another outing on tuesday in Croke Park, the lads
fought hard but lost by a narrow margin. Lads you should be very proud
of your performance.
U8 Camogie We set off on Sunday morning to Stillorgan Industrial Park to Naomh
Olaf's club pitch "Pairc Ui Bhriain" to play Naomh Olaf and St Johns
(Ballinteer). All clubs managed to bring out 3 teams on the day, which was a great achievement considering it was a bank holiday weekend. The girls were all fantastic showing off the skills that they have been practicing so hard in their training sessions. You can see that our girls are going from strength to strength and that they are a force to be reckoned with. Go Raheny!
Scoil Assam's fight night
Three Raheny lads represent Ard Scoil Ris in the 1st Year Division One Colleges Football Final. In a rain soaked O'Toole Park, Ben McHugh, Darragh Keogh and David Hyland contributed to an excellent win against a gallant Colaiste Eanna (Ballyboden) side in the Tom Quinlan Memorial Cup Final, eventually running out winners with 2 late goals. Final score 2-09 to 2-02.
On a dry Sunday evening pitch 10 was being prepared for Raheny's First ever Peilabu, this is tag GAA, Stuart Baldwin and Neil Kelly were putting up the nets and marking the pitches. They had four teams with at least one female on each, the competitiveness between the men was unbelievable, it took a while to grasp that you tagged each other not tackled but it was good clean fun. And only one or two minor incident where both Mr L and Mr B were a little enthusiastic, Mrs D is fine but Mrs S is a little Blue!!
When the games finished it was over to the club to rehydrate and to be fed, Greg Brough had started up the BBQ and the ladies took over and got cooking. Thank you to Marie Collins and Darina Mcguirk for feeding the masses. The club was backed and buzzing, as the children started to be taken home, Kevin Gillen and the Third Watch set up and began playing. It was great to see such a range of ages in the club all mixing well together. That's one of the best bits about the Club it is like one big Family.
Peilabu will continue throughout the summer, anyone interested in getting involved or playing send an email to rahenypeilabu@gmail.com with your contact details.
I have heard a strong whisper that Peilabu for Hurlers is on its way watch this space.
GAA 4 MAs - We had a guest coach in Paddy Peak last Tuesday and did he work us, never have i ran so many times around that astro and he made us run fast!!, He had a few drills set on the pitch when we arrived we were thinking more torture than obstacle.. anyway we survived to play another day.

Senior Camogie had a 3 point loss on Tuesday to Na Fianna.
U12 Hurling. Raheny 4-4, Castleknock 0-4. Aided by a strong breeze in the first half Castleknock started off the brighter with two well taken points. Raheny then got to grips with the game and began a very fine passage of play which resulted in a goal for Raheny. Raheny despite playing against the breeze had the vast amount of play towards the end of the first half but were wasteful in front of goal. At half time Raheny lead by 1-2 to 2 points. After a low scoring first half, Raheny, playing with the breeze, upped the ante in the second half to win this game by 4 goals. Overall the defence was excellent and was the platform on which the forwards and midfielders were able to get and control possession and take their scores. All of the team played well and showed a great hunger throughout the match not allowing Castleknock to settle on the ball. Scorers were Liam Dunne 3 goals, Alex Brae 1 goal, and points from Niall Walsh, Sean Farrelly, Luke Mitchell and Tom Keogh. This was a very much improved performance from the Clontarf match and well done to the whole team who raised their game.
AHL2 - Many thanks to all who came out to support our senior hurlers on a chilly saturday evening. They had a great win over St Marks. Raheny 8-10 v St Marks 1-9.
Junior E Hurling Championship Group 2 - Raheny 0-3 Castleknock 4-8
Minor Football League Div 5 - Raheny 5-6 St Judes 0-7
U10 Football -
A tough assignment for Raheny U10s in football last Sat at home against
a strong Castleknock outfit. Superior numbers on the day for
Castleknock meant they had strong sub benches and it showed in the
scoring. Raheny started well and led their matches with some excellent
point taking and defending but the second half told a tale. A lack of
tackles, missed passes and a lack of scoring opportunities meant
Castleknock ran out comfortable winners.
No doubt there will be some fitness work to be done
in the training sessions for the guys over the next few weeks and they
will surely bounce back with a few more wins!!
Man of the match awards went to Matthew Lodge, Jamie
Gilligan and Matthew Smyth with, Conor Baldwin, Michael Collins and Gary
Davitt picking up the most improved player awards
Football Saturday 28th Vs Fingal Ravens St Annes Pitch 12a
The CFF arrived with 14 but and were warming up with
some much needed shooting practice before hand. Ravens arrived with 9ish
and wanted to play with the 9 even though we offered to loan them some
girls for the day just so as everybody played... ah well. A cliche I
know but it was a game of 2 halves with the wind blowing a gale down the
pitch and it made a huge difference. Raheny were under pressure from
the off but soon adjusted to the high bouncing balls as they came in. A
great battling display of football took place from 10 mins into the
first half right up to the final kick of the game where Shauna launched
in a free and it found its way to the net...... a cracker to seal the
victory. Special mention goes to to our injured hero Lauren who came off
the worst for wear.
Camogie Sunday 29th Vs Kilmacud away in Alaska
The 2001 CFF ventured to Kilmacud on a freezing cold Sunday morning for
the two team Camogie League fixture. Despite the Baltic conditions the
girls gave their very best in both games with star performances from
Aisling O'Grady, Orla Kelly and Mia Kirwan on Team Geoffrey and Jessica
McGarry, Jenny O'Reilly and Ciara Storey on Team Eamonn. Great support
from parents as usual - the local coffee shop did well in keeping them
all warm throughout and the spoils were shared on the day.
Following on from last weeks mail and subsequent advertising on the club website & newsletter we are now looking to get an idea of numbers for the Blitz & BBQ on Sunday 6th May.
If you are interested could you please reply to pro.raheny.dublin@gaa.ie or 086-2909022 with your name, contact no. and email address.

We need to get a fairly accurate idea of numbers for the BBQ for buying grub.

Eoin Keogh and Paddy O Higgins fresh from their u21 semi final victory came off the bench to help Raheny to thri win and crucial scores from Gavin Ivory, Ciaran Murphy and Ger Coady closed out the victory.

CHANGE OF FIXTURE FOR NEXT SENIOR MATCH 2ND MAY IN ST ANNES V KILMACUD, THROW IN 7.15. PLEASE SUPPORT.
Junior A Championhip Raheny 3-12 v St Finians Newcastle 3-07
Junior B Football Championship - Raheny 1-11 stars of Erin 0-5. After a low scoring first half, raheny upped the ante in the second half to win this game by 9 points. Overall the defence marshalled by cathal gallagher and our captain declan gallagher never gave them a second on the ball. Once again Eoin mullen rolled back the years with a well taken goal from an excellent ball from karl fynes and some well taken scores from eamon fitzgerald and niall fitzsimons saw raheny through to the next round. Hopefully we can continue our push for promotion and meet star's next year in division 7
Junior D football championship Raheny 0-10 v Naomh Bharrog 1-4
Raheny gained sweet revenge for their league defeat to neighbours Naomh Bharrog, by coming out on top in this preliminary round Junior D championship game in St. anne's pitch 10.
Raheny dominated for most of the game, with a very impressive work rate and greater overall mobility. A performance of almost total control in the first half was tainted to some extent by some poor finishing, which resulted in Raheny going into the half time break 5 pts in total, with Bharrod drawing a blank. The home team made life hard on themselves in the second half with some very wasteful passing an
Minor hurlers lost to Lucan Sarsfields.
U 15 Football - Kilmacud Crokes 1-3 Raheny 3-8
Raheny travelled over to Stillorgan to take on Kilmacud Crokes in an important Division 1 football clash. Raheny dominated the game from start to finish and should have beaten Kilmacud by a much bigger margin but were very wasteful in front of goal. It was a great team display and some great passing moves pulled Kilmacud Crokes apart all over the pitch. Raheny U15’s after a poor start to the season are starting to move up the table after three straight wins.
PS: Raheny U15 Players & Mentors would like to thank Conor O’Kane and The Maldron Hotel for recent sponsorship of a new set of gear.
Last week Raheny u15s playedCraobh Chiarain at home. Craobh dominated the first half and missed a host of chances byt for stalwart defending of Evan Cumiskey able assisted by Ryan Bradshaw in goal and Robert O meara and Joe O Reilly in the corners. Evan marshalled his defence superbly, leading by examplbe always encouraging and urging on his fellow team mates, any young raheny hurler should look at Evan for inspiriation. Andrew Carroll and Philip Shatwell chased and harried faster opposition all evening, shane Bell With deadly accuracy that belies his young years scored two 65s which kept Raheny intouch with Craobh Chirain danger man and did a remarkable job. Craobh Chiarain are no double a classy hurling team but there were a few Raheny players MIA in the first half and things had to change. At the break it was 0-4 to 0-2 to Craobh. Raheny are not Hurling Feile champions for nothing and quiet words were had with some of the Raheny players at half time. The second half started much as the first with Craobh Chiarain sending over 3 more points without reply. The missing in action players Darren Byrne, Aaron Kelly James O’Kane, Darren Cooper and Fiachra O’Flynn began bossing the midfield and half forward line and dominated all positions thereafter, results came about quickly a tactical change of moving Brian Howard and Sean O’Flynn closer to Shane Bell at full forward provided dividends immediately with Brian Howard returning 5-1 at the end of the match. On the 45th minute Mark Williams came on for Sean O’Flynn and proved a very adept U14 player. Alex McConnell did not feature as he strained his neck muscles during the warm-up.
This game was very intimidating at times especially for our young players Joe O’Reilly, Fiachra O’Flynn, Andrew Carroll, Aaron Kelly, Mark Williams and Sean O’Flynn but they were able to handle the pressure and this bodes well for U14 Feile this year.
A great win for Raheny considering the we were not at the races in the first half.
Final Score
Craobh Chiarain 2-08 Raheny 5-09
U-18 girls lost last night against a very strong man o war side. There were some encouraging performances nevertheless from most players, particularly alannah broderick and jane o'dwyer in defence, roisin quinn and aoife costello at midfield, and ciara manley and emily rheinisch up front. Cara o'donnell also showed some class outfield in the second half after playing the opening 30 mins in goal
Under 12 camogie Raheny V Bridgets:
Beautiful sunny day on pitch 12A. Raheny won the first game easily with some great skill from Claire Gardner and Nicole Crowley who struck crisp points over the bar from over the 30 metre line. Alex Lawlor and Andrea Cotter who joined the squad this year contributed well show great promise. Sophie Peate worked hard in the back line and cleared ball after ball, while Ashling Horan managed to clear some long ball from her hand. In the second game we fall by a small margin of three points. The game was fought hard Laura Cox , Afric O’Connor and Aoife Baldwin battled hard. Derek Duffy was under pressure as Mary Lawlor was off galavanting for the week end.
Well Done Girls. Na Fianna next week.
Well done to the U8 Camogie teams out in Fingallians GAA on Saturday where
they played Fingallians and Na Fianna. Great skill was shown by all the
girls on the day and it could be clearly seen that they are coming on
in leaps and bounds.
GAA 4 MAs had their first outing on a pitch on sunday and got a real baptism of fire, well no baptism of water, the skys opened but we continued and braved the elemnts. Big difference from the astro, you got to chase all the stray balls on an open pitch!. Thanks again to Sarah and to our two guest coaches last week, DArragh Pelly and Andrew Dowling.
This weeks u10 report
There was no fear that Raheny U10 would underestimate Naomh Barrog as this was the fourth meeting of these teams this season.
With good conditions underfoot, Raheny played very well and ran out winners overall in a hard fought contest across the 3 games.
What impressed was the work of the Raheny lads without the ball in tracking back and making life difficult for their opponents.
Man of the match awards went to Luke Fox, John Sherlock and Donal O’Byrne with Eoin Dollard, Adam Barry and Jack Lawlor picking up the most improved player awards for their efforts.
Next up is football against Castleknock at 11am next Sat Apr 28th on 12A
Scoil Aine one of our feeder schools, played Scoil Maithu Ballinteer in Fairview last Wednesday in the Bun Scoil semi-final. The southsiders hit hard from the start and put huge pressure on the back-line. Saoirse White give an epic display in the full back positon and showed great blocking, batting and catching skills. Anna Murphy and Eabha Byrne ran all day and managed to get some quality balls up the field to the forwards where Olivia Gleeson and Laura Cox were lurking with intent.Liadan and Laura Cox showed great skill and determination. Ballinteer out skilled us on the day, they had twin sisters at mid – field who dominated the game.final score 2:4 to 0:0 Tears were shed after the game , our hopes and dreams of planning in Croke Park were shattered.
Thanks to Ms Shephard and Ms O’Donnell for all the training after school. This year the teachers managed to field an ‘A’ and ‘B’ team from 5th and 6th classes. Gaelic Games for girls are truly thriving in Raheny. Well done to the team of 2012.

Great to see Mark Kirby back . Well done all. AHL 2 On Saturday night the Seniors maintained their good start to the year-achieving a 3 point win over St. Patricks Palmerstown in St Annes on a scoreline of 0.14 to 1.8 Raheny played into the wind in the first half – which was low scoring affair- the half time score being 0.6 to 0.5 in favour of St. Pats. – Raheny getting all their scores from play- 0.2 from Patrick O Gara, and a point each from Sean Dempsey, Stephen Kelly and Dave Henry . Raheny were very unfortunate not to get 2 goals in this period, only for their first touch to let them down at vital stages but the signs were looking good for an improved 2nd half performance Raheny’s midfield and defence showing a great work ethic during the first half and were very disciplined with their tackling only conceding 3 frees and a 65m and only 2 points from play. Whilst St. Patrick’s Palmerstown were missing their Inter County star Liam Rushe, their other Inter County panelist Shane Stapleton was available and whilst he converted 2 frees he was struggling to make an impression through the sterling work of Eamon Fitzgerald who held him scoreless from play over the hour. A the start of the 2nd half Pats Palmerstown broke away and scored a goal against the run of the play but Raheny did not panic replying with some fine scores from Dave Henry, Stephen Kelly and some good free taking from Greg Bennett went into a 0.12 to 1.6 lead. Raheny made 2 changes at this stage introducing and Michael Grenham and Simon Deignan and both made very valuable contributions. The teams then exchanged points but Raheny still led going into the final 5 minutes of the game by 3 and with St. Patricks Palmerstown making an allout onslaught on the Raheny goal to retrieve the game but they were repelled with sterling displays from Derek Browne, Ger Sheehy and Captain Dave Heffernan- Raheny winning out on a scoreline of 0.14 to 1.8 Raheny Scorers Dave Henry 0.4, Greg Bennett 0.4, Paddy O Gara 0.2, Stephen Kelly 0.2, Sean Dempsey 0.1, Ger Coady 0.1 The victory leaves Raheny in a good position in the league with 6 points from 6 - 1 of 3 teams who remain unbeaten at this stage in the league- The championship commences now and we will play St. Marks in 2 week’s time at home in St Annes. Thanks for all the support on the night – it is really see great to see such support for the team the players and management appreciate. Raheny Junior A Hurlers got their season back on track on Sunday morning when they had a very decisive win over Naomh Fionnbarra in the AHL 5 winning on a 4.10 to 0.7 point scoreline. U11 Ladies Football Vs Naomh Peregrines St. Annes Pitch 12A A superb closely fought game of football by the 2001 CFF against Peregrines took place on Saturday @1pm. The squad rotation policy by Coach McCarthy and Management eventually paid off with a victory by the narrowest of margins 2-5 to 2-4. Congratulations girls. 1 Team Camogie Vs Skerries St. Annes Pitch 12A (11AM). Skerries brought out their big guns on Sunday morning but the 2001 CFF were ready and waiting. A lovely game of 13-a-side camogie took place and our girls showed themselves to be in fine form with a win at a canter in the spring showers in the end. 2 Team Camogie Vs Naomh Brid St. Annes Pitch 12A (12AM) Brigids brought 13... no wait 14... hang on 15 so we had a 15-a-side game and with a plethora of girls to pick from we had them running in/out like Lanigans Ball all through the game. We had sun/hail/wind/rain and to finish bringing the result home glorious sunshine... April you cant beat it or the CFF. U9 Camogie team were away last weekend in St Brigids in a two team blitz against St. Bridgids and Round Tower. The girls showed some fantastic skills and came away with 5 wins out of 5 matches. U10 - Raheny U10s were narrowly defeated by Fingallians on 12A last Saturday am. Showing signs of plenty of Easter enjoyment, Raheny started slowly but improved a lot during the matches and will surely strip a lot fitter next day out. Man of the match awards went to Mark Murphy, Conor Baldwin and Adam Morgan with Alex McIndoe, Thomas Moriarty and Matthew Smyth picking up the most improved player awards See our page on the website for more! Last year, the GAA started an initiative called Recreational Football and Hurling ("Peil Abú and Camán Abú"). They are non-contact version of the games with modified rules to make the sport accessible to all. They have been described as the GAA version of 5-a-side soccer and tag rugby and are suitable for both male and female participants. The emphasis is on having some fun whilst getting a little bit of exercise. The games are suited to all regardless of age or fitness level and no prior experience of playing GAA is required. They should be particularly of interest to Mentors (male and female) of the various club teams and indeed Parents of our Juvenile members. It's an ideal opportunity to further increase the social interaction throughout the club and for everyone to get to know each other better. Raheny GAA are going to launch the games in the club by running a Mini Peil Abú Football blitz at 5.00pm on Sunday 6th May in St Anne's Park followed by a Barbeque in the Clubhouse. We are hoping that as many Mentors and members as possible will take part in this event to at least give it a try on the day. If there is sufficient interest subsequently, there will be a game arranged every Sunday evening until the end of September. For more information about the games (including rules) please see http://justplay.gaa.ie/Home and for queries please email Stuart Baldwin ( baldwin.stuart@gmail.com) or Neil Kelly ( neilkell@gmail.com).

Our Easter Camp was a great success we had 211 children, thank you to Dotsy and his helpers for all their hard work. We got a little bit of feed back from some of the children involved.
Roise (5) "The leaders were very friendly and funny, I loved the different stations and I hope I get the same leaders in the summer camps".
Aisling (7) "I really liked the games we played. Especially the star jump game. The hurling and football was great fun and my coaches were great!"
Molly (10) "I gave the camp 5/10 on the first day but 9/10 for the rest of it. Brilliant fun."
GOOD FRIDAY TOURNAMENT U8
The 2nd year of Craobh Chiaráin's Good Friday Hurling tournament took place over the weekend. This tournament is a great initiative by Craobh Chiaráin with teams playing for trophies named in honour of past members.
In the under 8 section Raheny, Craobh Chiaráin and Na Fianna faced off in a round robin series of matches.
In the 1st pair of matches, our lads put in great efforts to win both matches against Craobh Chiaráin. Daniel Broderick was on target several times in one of the games, while in the other game Karl English and Ruairi Kelly got the winning scores.
Our next encounters were against a very strong Na Fianna outfit. Na Fianna were too strong in one of the games winning 5-0, giving the boys a lesson in taking chances.
However in the second match our lads led by Eoghan Cullen and Conor Ahearne defended like heroes to go in at half time with no score on the board. In the 2nd half we got a couple of quick goals and held off Na Fianna's comeback to win 2-1.
Well done to all 17 players who played their part for Raheny in this years competition. The tournament was decided on score difference and for the 2nd year running our boys lifted the winners trophy. Keep up the good work lads you are all improving by the week.
A big thank you to Phil Cullen and Craobh Chiaráin for our invitation to play again this year.
Hope to be back next year!
AFL 2 - Raheny 1-12 Na Fianna 0-10
This Good Friday challenge game proved to be a very useful exercise for the thus far unbeaten Senior Footballers. It was a chance to test themselves against a quality team, also unbeaten this year in division one.
Although the performance of the team proved impressive on the day for both management and the many supporters that turned up, it was the performance of some of the players who have so far been on the fringe of the team that will give Whelo and his management team most satisfaction. Players such as Ger Coady, Seán Byrne, Paddy O'Higgins and Davey Carroll all performed well and will give serious  selection headaches for the management team ahead of their next Division two league game against Skerries out in Skerries on Sunday week. This healthy competition for places has been a key ingredient in the team's displays to date and will hopefully keep the maroon machine rolling in the right direction.
Another challenge game against St Judes next Monday evening at 6.45 in St Annes, also a tough division one team should provide further good preparation ahead of both the Skerries league game and the senior championship. Everyone involved with the team also greatly appreciates the supporters that have turned up to cheer on the team so far and will continue to welcome all further support for both home and away games throughout the year.
Many thanks to Jackie Cheevers from Raheny Dental Clinic who sponsored a new set of jerseys for the adult AFL2 footballers.

WELL DONE TO ALL OUR ADULTS TEAM WHO HAD FANTASTIC WINS THIS WEEKEND. SPECIAL MENTION TO OUR SCL1 SENIOR CAMOGIE TEAM WHO RECORDED THEIR FIRST EVER LEAGUE WIN OVER BALLYBODEN ST ENDAS, ON SUNDAY. GREAT RESULTS ALL ROUND, WELL DONE TO ALL CONCERNED, THE HARD WORK & COACHING IS PAYING DIVIDENDS ACROSS THE CLUB
Easter Greeting to one and all and in particualer our memebers and friends overseas.
Thanks to those who have paid, those who have not, we would appreciate you co-operation with immediate payment by cash, cheque, laser, visa or even paypal via club website http://www.raheny.gaa.ie/information/pay-membership-on-lineThanks to Jackie Cheevers (Raheny Dental Centre http://www.rahenydentalcentre.com/ ) for once again sponsoring a new set of jerseys, more to follow. The club was saddened to learn of the passing of Ken Grundy (RIP). Ken was involved with Frank Welsh in starting our Ogra section and left a lasting legacy. Our thoughts are with Deirdre and family. Ar dheis De go raibh a anam dilis. Sunday night last saw the club buzzing once again. Blossom Ireland organisers had a corner of the hill, the other corner was taken up with the GAA 4 MA's Easter Drinks, the ladies footballers and camogie players had drinks to bid a fond farewell to Orla Sheehan who is off to Thailand to work. Thi di thisud khxng chokh Orla. Comedy Night with Irelands up and coming comedians Fri.13th April in main hall 8.00pm sharp. Tickets €20 available in club or email brendankeane2006@gmail.com Come along for a laugh, for what promises to be great evenings entertainment. Thank you to all who attended the Easter Camp. We started with organised chaos as we had 60 extra applicants on the day, we expected maybe 10-15. We ended up with 190 attending the camp. Thank you to Dotsy for creating calm and a big thank you to all the coaches and to those who stepped in at the last minute to help us with the large numbers. David & Conor Henry and The Gillens amongst others came out in force as well. We will have a Senior Dublin Ladies Footballer coaching on Wednesday in the form of Siobhan Woods. Great to see so many young (and not so young) people willing to give up their spare time and put something back into the club. GAA 4 MA'S is now on Tuesday from 9-10pm as well as Sundays on the astro, €3 subs. However it wont be on this Easter Sunday. AFL2 Raheny 1-13 Cuala 0-09.The senior footballers made it three out of three wins in Division 2, after beating Cuala our in Dalkey on Saturday evening. The game proved a much tougher challenge than the previous two and it took plenty of hard work, with some impressive displays by Colm Woods up front and Rutherson Real in defence to overcome a lively Cuala team. The team plays a challenge game against Na Fianna this Friday in St Annes at 3 o Clock. All support Welcome. AFL5 Well done to our AFL 5 footballers who produced a stunning comeback to win a great game away to a much fancied Good Counsel side.Trailing by 8 points at one stage the lads kept battling and 2 goals from Eoin Gillen and Billy Kelly reduced the deficet to 2 points at half time. Raheny started the second half well with a cracking long range point from Collie Hanley.Counsel however fought hard again and hit back with a couple of scores from the left boot of John O'Brien and heading in to last 7 minutes Raheny trailled by 2. With the game finely balanced Raheny Super Sub Collie Donegan entered the fray and kicked 2 difficult free's to tie the game up going into injury time. Then following great work from Danny Gaffney and Mark Staunton Raheny enginered a free in a scorable position. The experienced Donegan again stepped forward and showed his class and calmly slotted the ball over the bar for the winner to complete an incredible fightback by all 20 players who gave it their all for the 60 mins. Unbelievable heart showed by all, well done. AFL8 Raheny 2-22 Crokes 0-03. From the first minute to the sixtieth, Raheny dominated this game. Once again as a unit we played extremely well as we went top of AFL8 and continued our unbeaten run, which started last summer. Great performance on the day from all involved especially birthday boy Ritchie Kenny, Declan GAllagher with 3 points, Eoin Kirwan and Jack Dempsey in the middle of the park and Mike Mcnieve, Rory Boyle and Eamon Fitzgerald in the forwards. Minor hrlrs lost to St Maurs. U15 and U13 f/blrs won v Fingallians and Whitehall Colmcilles. U10 Boys - In a hard fought friendly, Raheny U10s ran out winners in an enthralling encounter with Naomh Barrog last Saturday am. Given a bye in their current league campaign the young stalwarts continued their impressive form by winning the three hurling games played.Man of the match awards went to Matthew Lodge, Jamie Gilligan and James Hyland with Eoghan Baldwin, Adam Mooney and Conor Dodd picking up the most improved player awards See our page on the website for more! click here ...
Senior camogie with a great team performance and Rhona Markham outstanding, had a mighty 2pt win, way over Ballyboden St Endas. U15 Girls - Match v Tempelogue. Sat 31-03-12 Match did not get off to the best start, throw in was scheduled for 4:45 but match did not start til after 5pm as there was road closures in town which delayed the opposition. We also had to start with 14 to match our opponents which as always isnt ideal. Match started off strong, Temp are a strong and physical team but once we settled we got into our stride. The match was pretty level in the first half, Raheny took the lead with some great scoring from our forwards Saoirse O'Connor and Ashling Brennan to name a few. Temp never gave up and continued to push forward with high balls in from their half back line. With some great defending and super goalkeeping by Grace Flood we managed to get to half time all level. The second half saw some hard challenges and a few injuries to our midfield duo Grainne Kirwan and Hannah McLaughlin, but they soldiered on and fought back strong. It was point for point for most of the second half until Raheny went down by a sloppy goal and 2 points. We did not give up and a great goal from Ali Ambrose kept us well in the game, Thanks to some super goal keeping by Grace we were never too far from the leaders. Unfortunately another goal from Tempelogue saw us 5 points behind. Raheny never gave up and we battled to get another point and the game finished with raheny narrowly missing out on the win in the end. Raheny's Player of the match - Grace Flood. Ladies U11 Football Saturday : - Home Vs Garristown. The Football team were at home on Saturday evening on pitch 12A and arrived in some serious numbers. Garristown decided to play 11-a-side and this meant that we were swapping in/out girls so that everybody was going to get a decent run. Garristown are a good footballing club and it showed with their inside forward line being able to take on defenders and score with ease. Their midfield was a really strong pairing and it took us a while to come to grips with them after we decided to play the ball forward to bypass them at every opportunity. Some wayward shooting from our forwards meant that we were scoreless at half-time. Time for a half-time chat. We came out in the second half with a bit more determination and began to get a run at them but again we couldn't find the target whereas they made it look easy. In the end it was Garristowns victory. Debuts : - Nicole Crowley Camogie U11 Blitz Sunday (Home St. Annes pitch 12a) The U11 one team put up a great display against a strong Oliver Plunketts team on Sunday morning. Stars of the day were the Aoibhin 'bruiser' McCarthy, Dara O'Hanlon and Sophie O'Riordan while Niamh Kellett, Molly Dempsey and Eabha Ní Bhradaigh battled hard all through. Camogie U11 Blitz Sunday (Away St. Brigids - Russell Park) The U11 two team contingent were on the road again with a trip to Russell Park for a blitz with Brigids and Ballyboden. In glorious sunshine Raheny got off to flyer as they all seemed to be really up for some serious hurling. On a particularly lumpy pitch maintained by what looked like goats, Team Ger managed a draw and 2 wins as the girls all managed to get stuck in and played some really competitive stuff with a few injuries received. Team Eamonn on the posh pitches managed impressive victories in all 3 games with the girls all stepping up and beginning to get more confident with each passing game. Bring on the league. U9 Girls had a great day out in Castleknock on Saturday morning for their first U9 match. This is the first time the club has entered the U9 league and we have two great teams this year. The girls have been training hard for months now, playing both camogie and ladies football at training on Tuesday evenings and Saturday mornings. U10 Girls - The girls put on a great performance with some excellent scores from the forwards and blocks from the defenders. A great experience for the girls first day out with lots learned for next blitz in a few weeks time. Keep up the good work girls U8 Camogie Blitz. First U8 Camogie Blitz held in St Annes, last Sunday. A great display of skills from all our girls involved. Thanks also to Crumlin and Skerries for making the blitz a success. Good luck to Dubs U21s in Wednesday nights Leinster final v Louth in Navan at 7:30 and to Raheny players Patrick O'Higgins and Eoghan Keogh.

AFL2 - Raheny 4-19 to Peregrines 1-4. In the late March sunshine, Raheny romped to a blistering 4-19 to 1-4 victory against a depleted Peregrines on Sunday. The midfield pairing of Rob Donnelly & Ciaran Murphy provided a strong platform for the dominant display from start to finish. On a day of high scoring, the duo contributed two points and were ably assisted by a hard working defencive unit and some solid goalkeeping when required. The game looked over as a contest by half time with Raheny firmly in control 2-07 to 0-2, thanks to a brace of well hit penalties from Gavin Ivory. The ball hit the net twice more in the second half courtesy of Darragh Pelly & Donal Ryan, but in truth, were it not for a combination of brave goalkeeping and some sloppy finishing, it could have been a lot worse for the hosts. Colm Woods, David Carroll, Stephen Swords and second half substitute Eoin Delaney all contributed further scores in a rampant finish to the game. Sterner challenges lie ahead, starting with a tough league encounter against Cuala this coming Saturday evening.
AFL5 - Well done to our AFL 5 Team who continued their unbeaten run with 0-15 to 1-6 over Round Towers Lusk and kept up their push for semi final place.Great performance from Danny Gaffney Mark staunton and great to see Collie hanley back in the middle of the park.
AFL 8 raheny 5-10 ST Joseph's OCB 2-1. Excellent second half, with all 5 goals coming after the break. Great to see Alan white back and good performances from Rory Boyle, Brian Malone, Declan Gallagher and Eoin mullen.
A big Thank You to Dectek ( www.dectek.ie) who have become the new sponsor of our team and thank to vice captain Jimmy Keogh for organising the deal. Thanks also to gaapic.com for coming and taking photos.
AHL2 - On Sunday morning the Senior’s were away against Clann na Gael - and with both teams getting wins on the first day out – we needed to get off to a good start to maintain the momentum. We did this with a great goal from Sean Dempsey and 2 quickfire points from Dave Henry. Clann na Gael replied with 2 points but Raheny maintained the pressure and with some fine scores from Luke Dillon, Ger Coady, Conor Henry and some fine free taking from Greg Bennett opening a size able gap between the 2 team .
There was some fine fielding from centre back and captain Dave Heffernan which was added to by some excellent quality ball distribution from the half back line to our forwards being topped off with a fine goal from Dave Henry - where he broke in on goal from the left hand side and blasted the ball to the top right hand corner of the net giving the goalkeeper no chance.
At half time the scoreline was Raheny 2.14 Clann Na Gael 0.5.
There was very little to be said at half time and whilst Clann Na Gael did up their performance in the 2nd half Raheny maintained the quality of play with some fine defensive work by the complete full back line of Kevin O Gara, Conor Gillen and Eamon Fitzgerald -who is developing into a fine Senior player. Paddy Bradshaw also pulled off some fine saves in the Raheny goal.
Raheny introduced subs - Eoin Gillen, Simon Deignan, Stephen Kelly , Cian Daly and Ger Sheedy and whilst you would expect the number of changes would have affected the team structure the hard work across the entire team resulted in some more fine scores of Sean Dempsey and Ger Coady. Clann na Gael did eventually did break through the Raheny inside Line and scored a last minute consolation goal but the final score was Raheny 2.20 Clann na Gael 1.10.
Once again there was some fine support on the sideline for Raheny and this was very much appreciated by all the players.
In the afternoon Raheny fielded a 3rd hurling team against St. Sylvestors and with the sun splitting the stones out in Malahide Castle, they turned in an excellent performance with some fine scores by Rob “Swoop” O Neill and Michael McShane in the opening half and would have been added to but controversially “Swoop” had a brilliant goal disallowed by the referee for no apparent reason.
Brian Fogarty and Barry Roche also put in some excellent performances and it was great to see player /assistant manager Ian Kennedy making a fine return from injury. Micka O Brien also came on as 2nd half sub returning from a long term knee injury capping off his return with a fine point from wing back.
Raheny tired in the last few minutes and conceded 3 relative easy goals and eventually went down 6.8 to 3.10 but this was a very much improved team performance and augers well for the future.
Raheny supporter of the year “Grizzly Bear Christy” cycled out to the match from Raheny and the team really would like to thank him for his support and assistance as umpire during the game.
AHL5 - played O’Tooles under floodlights on Blunden Drive.
O Tooles got off to a great start scoring 1-3 before Raheny replied with a very well worked goal which was eventually put in the back of the net by Junior A debutant Liam O Shea.
Colm Donegan added to 2 frees from around 50m out and we were back in the game . We were finding it hard to get a stronghold at midfield against 2 of O Tooles more experienced players both of whom had inter county experience but we battled on and both teams exchanged points . The half time score was 1.4 to 1.3 in favour of O Tooles. The 2nd half began with a fine score from Richie Judge but O Tooles hit back with a long distance free.
The game was turned on its head – although one of our players was fouled some 40 yards out from the O Tooles goal- there was a small bit of a scuffle and the referee decided to send off one of our players. The rest of the game was then an uphill battle but Raheny made it very difficult for O Tooles to pull away with some excellent defensive displays from Alan Carr and Richard Peavoy.
O’ Tooles eventually breached the Raheny rearguard scoring some 3 points in last 5 minutes to win out on a scoreline 1.10 to 1.5. Whilst the result was disappointing there was many fine performances on the night and we will have to work that little bit harder in our next home game against Naomh Fionnbarra to break our league.
AHL9 lost to St Sylvesters.
U16s won v Na Fianna,
U15s drew with Ballyboden/St Endas,
U14s won v Commercials
U13s unlucky v Kilmacud Crokes.
U11 Football Speedy recovery to Sean Ryan who broke his wrist.
U7 - Football weekend and we were split Raheny 1 away in Round Towers Lusk and Raheny 2 home versus Man O War.
Great sport had by all and the boys played very well. Raheny 2 produced a stirring comeback against Man O War in one of the games coming from well behind at half time to win through. Star performers for Raheny 2 this week were John "2 feet" McNally who put the training on the weaker foot to good use by slotting over a point on his left foot and a returning player Bobby McNamee who had a great couple of games. Welcome back Bobby.
Notable mentions for Matthew McGloin who played a stormer when moved into the forwards, Jason "Messi" Maguire, Hayden Carroll and Sam Grant.
We're always delighted to see new players joining. If any player has friends or class mates that would like to join us please remind them that we train Wednesday nights Alfie Byrne Rd from 5.50 to 7pm.
For Raheny 1 star players this week were Mark Farrelly in goals, David McCarthy, Cillian Ryan, Eoghan Cullen, Ruairi Kelly and Sean Reilly. Karl English and Brian Purcell chipped in with a few lovely scores. The players are starting to play as a team now, keep it going.
Well done everybody great weekends work.
Our U15 Camogie girls continue their strong league form with a good win over St John’s Ballinteer on Sunday. Raheny started strong with goals from Emma Kavanagh and Fiona Larmon. Raheny went in ahead 4-1 to 2-0 at half time. Our girls started the second half the way they finished the first and ended up 6-2 to 5-1 winners. Scorers Emma Kavanagh 3-0 Fiona Larmon 2-1 Aoife Nolan 1-0 and hazel Mullen 0-1.
Our U16 match was abandoned when injury struck one of our players after a heavy fall. Patricia Grehan was take to Temple Street by ambulance and was later discharged with damaged hip ligaments Get Well Soon Patricia from all the gang.
Another weekend with the 2001 CFF taking part in 10 games in total.
U11 Football
The Football team travelled to Portmarnock on Saturday evening to play a highly fancied outfit. We lined out against a really strong outfit from Naomh Mearnog who had some brilliant footballers that were well able to take defenders on. A brave display from the girls with some lovely football being displayed after the management switched things around in the second half. Unfortunately Raheny came off the wrong side in the end but it is all a learning process for everybody.
U11 Camogie
The one Team Camogie group were away from home and played two very competitive matches against Erins Isles and Skerries on the Isles astro pitch on a roasting Sunday morning in Finglas. The two team Camogie group were at home on pitch 12A for a blitz with Erin Go Bragh and Faughs where the sun was ard san aer, the grass was cut to perfection and we were ready for action.

Mothers Day started for certain members of the Social Committee very early and it wasn't a treat for them.

These ladies served a lovely brunch to a number of Mums in the Club which began with a glass of bubbly a special treat. A big thank you to these ladies and also Eva Lawlor who was up at the crack of dawn making delicious scones, mixed berry and pear and vanilla to name a few.

Last weekend was a busy one again for the club, thanks again to Ronan Leech for solving our pitch problems and a big thank you to Craogh Chiarain who allowed us the use of Pitch 6 for Sunday morning at very short notice.
AFL2 continued their impressive start to the season with a well deserved 0.19Pts to 1.07 over Fingallians in St Anne's Park on saturday. Midfielders Ciaran Murphy and Paddy Reid dominating, upfront some fantastic point scoring from all the forwards including 6 points from Eoin Delaney and 5 points from Gavin Ivory, and the defence all well on top. Paddy O Higgins made his Club Senior Football Debut. Team has won both league games to date.
AFL5 Raheny 5-13 v Na Fianna 3-7. With Donal Ryan, Simon Deignan, Ciaran Heapes and the whole team outstanding on the day.
AFL8 Raheny 2-09 Lucan 1-06. Two taken goals from Eoin Mullen and Brendan Whyte were the difference in a very tight game. Raheny defended well through out and took our chances well with big performances from Matt Bennett, the three Fitzsimons brothers and Stephen O Brien.
AFL10 Raheny 1-6 Naomh Barrog 2-4. Junior c footballers suffered defeat by the narrowest of margins in this local league derby game -. Perhaps a better use of available possession opportunities at various stages of the game would have resulted in a more favourable outcome. Impressive performances from, in particular, Gareth Manley; Brian Malone; Brian Talty; Jack Dempsey; Seanie Carr and Philip Kane.
U15 Div 1 v Na Fianna. An injury stricken Raheny took to the field against division toppers Na Fianna and suffered as a result. Na Fianna were hungrier and sharper to the breaking ball. Some positives can be taken from the game. Na Fianna 5-14 v Raheny 1-8.
U14 Footballers had a walk over against St Monica's which places them very nicely on the league tables.
Minor Hurlers Raheny 1-09 Setanta 1-10. Full match report on Hurling Section.
U12 Hurling Team got their campaign off to a winning start against St.Jude's on Sat, winning a very tight match 5-01 to 4-02. Raheny started slowly and were 1 -02 down before they got their first score. Raheny were four points up at half time but a very determined St. Jude's got back into the match in the second half with two quick goals. Raheny fought hard all the way through the game and were one point down with five minutes to go. A late goal from Liam Dunne sealed the victory but either side could have come away with the win. The lads showed great heart throughout the game to come back on 2 occasions to win at the death. The whole team fought hard but there were also some great individual performances particularly from Sean Farrelly and Adam McCormack. Liam Dunne also contributed three vital Goals.
While it was great to get the season off to a winning start there is a lot of hard work to be done on the training ground to maintain the progress the lads have made from last season.
Maith sibh, leann leis an obair mhaith.
Senior Camogie got off to a bad start conceding 4 goals in the first half giving ourselves a mountain to climb. The girls raised their game in the second half and had majority of possession and scoring opportunities but could only pull the score back to a final score of 5-4 to 1-8 against us. Notable performances were from Lorna Twohig (0-4 points) and Jacqueline Elebert (Defence).
Next match is in 3 weeks time away to Ballyboden St Endas.
U15 Camogie team continues their good form with a comprehensive win over Bray Emmets in St Anne's Park on Sunday. Next game is away to St Johns Ballinteer on 25th March. Raheny 8-2 Bray Emmets 1-4. Abbey Connelly had a great game in defence and Rebecca Barrett was on fire throughout the game. We wish Sadbh a speedy recovery with her arm injury.
 Camogie/Hurling Mentors with some of our players took a trip to Tipp to visit our pal Paudie Butler
We had a huge response to the request for mentors and their families to take a day out of their busy schedules to visit Paudi Butler in his home town of Drom an Inch. We had -25 adults/mentors and 28 children/willing volunteers with ages ranging from U8's to U14's took to the coach on Saturday morning at 10:30 ('ish). We also had 3 car loads driving down to meet us down there bringing the total to 35 children and 25 adults. A brilliant hurling demonstration took place on the huge hurling wall where the time just flew by. The outcomes from the session will mean that the mentors will now be taking a saw to their own hurls and making them 20 inches long and never shall there be a 36 inch hurl brought to a juvenile training session. A huge rethink in how we should be training the children has taken place over the last 12 months where the children will be taught to hurl from the hand rather than from the ground up.
Check out tomorrow's edition of the Northside People for an article on Raheny GAA and more on the mini leagues.

D'imir Ráth Éanna in aghaidh Ballyboden St Enda's ar lá deas ar páirc 12. Thosaigh Ballyboden go han láidir le imreoraí maithe agus bhí Ráth Éanna faoi brú an luath sa cluiche. Ag leath-áma níor raibh aon rud idir na dhá fhoireann fíu le an taithí a bhí ag Ballyboden ag an aois-ghrúpa seo. Thosaigh an dara leath agus bhí sé fós daighean idir na dhá fhoireann, mar gheall ar an cinneadh a bhí ag Ráth Éanna.Mar shample Ciara Storey a chaith í féin isteach agus rinne sí blocáil iontach. Ghoirtigh sí í féin ag deánamh é. Tar éis cupla ionadaí agus athrú áiteanna ar an páirc taispeann taithí Ballyboden. Sa deireadh ciall Ráth Éanna an cluiche, ach níor stop Ráth Éanna ag deánamh iarracht. Ag deireadh an cluiche dúradh leo fíuan gur cialladar rinne gach duine an iarracht tríd an cluiche ar fad. Sin gach rud a bhfuil Báineastóir in ann cuir céist le haghaidh. Bhí muid an bróduil don fhoireann ar fad. Mo bhuíochas don fhoireann ar fad!!!!!!!!!
