With the start of the 2024 Go Games this weekend we wish to remind all players and parents/guardians that Mouthguards are mandatory for all football training and matches.

Best of luck to the two u15 Féile football teams playing their second round of matches on Sunday next.

 

The A team had a great win away to Na Fianna last Sunday and will look to continue winning ways at 12:00 pm on Sunday when they take on Castleknock. The A team are playing a very strong group in division 1.

 

The B team lost out to a strong Clanna Gael Fontenoy team away and will hope to bounce back this Sunday morning at 10:30 am against Ballyboden St. Enda’s.  Despite loosing the boys showed a great “can do” attitude and signs of progression.

 

All support for the players and mentors appreciated.

 

 

Join us for our Kahoots  Quiz fundraising quiz night in aid of the AFL10 and AFL8 football teams on Friday 23rd February at 8:30pm.

Don’t worry if you can’t make it to the club, you can log in from the comfort of your own couch and play along!

Just contact Stan or Denise, pay your €10 and the link to join will be sent to you before the quiz starts. We will have a raffle on the night with lots of spot prizes. You don’t need to be in the club to purchase raffle tickets, this can also be done through Stan and Denise.

 

We hope many families can join us from home in addition to those who can make it in person at Russell Park for what is always lots of fun! 🔴⚪️🔴⚪️

As you are aware we are  moving to Foireann for all membership payments this year.

 

Moving to Foireann for our membership payments is a positive step for our club, resulting in cost savings and a more robust payment and registration process that is less labour intensive. Doing this positions us well for the future as the GAA continues to expand the use of Foireann and moves towards integration with the One Club model.

 

Full details can be found on the membership page with guides and video to assist you on the new registration system.

Thank you for support.

 

Dear Members,

We are thrilled to share some wonderful news with you, made even more special by being announced on St Brigid’s Day.

St. Brigid’s GAA Club takes immense pride and joy in announcing that Mary O’Connor, our former secretary and current assistant secretary, has been chosen to receive a President’s Award from Larry McCarthy, President of the GAA, in recognition of her exceptional contributions to the Ladies Gaelic Football Association over the years. These prestigious awards, organized and presented annually, honor individuals who have demonstrated outstanding commitment and dedication to the organization.

 

Mary exemplifies the best qualities of the GAA, showcasing relentless pursuit of excellence and unwavering commitment that has left a lasting impact on the growth of ladies football in Dublin. We are thrilled to see her significant contributions acknowledged in this manner. Within St. Brigid’s, we deeply appreciate Mary’s dedication to the GAA, which extends to the phenomenal impact she has made on our own club. As our secretary, she served as the linchpin, coordinating meetings, managing pitch allocations, driving innovation, and inspiring volunteers and members alike. Her work was carried out with exceptional efficiency, courtesy, and a lack of fuss. Mary’s infectious enthusiasm and enduring commitment have not only left a lasting mark on our club but have also enriched the lives of our members and players.
