Dublin Social Hurling 2017..St Annes Park on a windy thursday was the venue for this clash of Raheny and the men form Donnycarney. The Craobh boyos jingled and jangled their way across pitch 10 with the sound of Dublin County titles in their pocket making it known that they were here for a game. The first quarter faired better for Craobh as the rattled in 1-3 before Raheny used the wind in the 2nd quarter to their advantage. The Ferret lined out in the Maroon and White and his presence was felt has he helped himself to 3 points. The Craobh Midfield of the McGuirks ran the show and slotted over some lovely scores from midfield. Ciaran Hetherton swung the hurley like he was 22 again setting up 3 of the Craobh goals. Raheny got one of their own as a fluffed point chance by Mick O' Brien fell in to Niall McGurks arms and he rattled the net. A very enjoyable evening in St Annes with these two teams no doubt contesting the final at the end of September. Final score here in St Annes Park: Raheny 1 - 10 Craobh 3 - 14.

 The Rush to Flush Walk !!
It was a beautiful sunny day when 150 or so members, families and friends joined us last Saturday on our ‘Rush to Flush’ 5km walk around St. Anne’s Park. The sole purpose of the walk was to raise vital funds to upgrade the toilets within the Clubhouse. To date we raised just over €2,200 from the small number of sponsorship cards returned and the families and friends who registered on the day. The day could not have been a success without the support from members and friends, so a huge thank you!! Many teams had other commitments on the day and we are very hopeful that these teams will hold their own walk or run to support the Club/members cause. We would also like to thank our wonderful sponsors who made the day a success including: Dublin Balloons; Paper Pieces & Supervalu. A special words for thanks to Laura and Ali for co-ordinating the day, the course marshals and also Liz Stowe for the great pictures, some of which are below. We will update you on total funds raised by the end of the summer!! Ní neart go cur le-chéile   OGRA

Congratulations and Thank You's U13 Division 6N Football Champions.. Congratulations Girls!! A well deserved win, fantastic teamwork 🏆🏆🏆
 U7/U8 Girls Our girls finished up for the summer with a trip to JumpZone and had a blast. No need to worry about this crews flexibility as the photos will prove. 38 of them took to JumpZone in Santry with such enthusiasm they had to be restrained by the owners. I must say they all looked excellent in their yellow jump socks. A superb bunch of girls and a joy to work with...but God can they talk :-)  Just click on any of the photos and you can see more photos from the day U8 Boys... On Sunday afternoon two of our most famous members, Brian Fenton and Brian Howard, represented Raheny GAA with great distinction in Croke Park. However they were not the only club members to visit HQ over the weekend. On Saturday close on 40 of our under 8's descended on Pairc an Chrocaigh for a tour of the historic stadium. Saturday morning was the last game for the under 8's before the summer break, and as the mentors have come to expect from this bunch, our lads performed with real determination and no lack of skill against our close neighbours St Monica's. Following the game and still in Maroon, the lads arrived at Croker in enthusiastic (manic!!!) form. From a rousing rendition of Amhran na bhfiann (for fellow visitors), to a Q&A session in the changing rooms, to roars of "Raheny" from the upper heights of the Hogan Stand (to hear the echo!!) the boys did themselves and their club proud. Finally the afternoon was finished off under the Davin Stand with chips & nuggets and the most amazing Raheny GAA hurl shaped cake. The cake was baked by Barbara Ryan (mam to Isaac, one of the many stars of the team) and garnered as many compliments as the behaviour of our lads!!! This is an enthusiastic bunch, blessed with a steely determination and a never give up attitude. We have no doubt that some of these lads will see the inside of the Croke Park dressing rooms again before too long!!!  
Dublin Social Hurling 2017..First game for Raheny is a local derby Vs Clontarf this Friday 30th on Pitch 10 at 7:30. So warm up the stretchers and Rosary Beads and if you have any Special Intentions to spare now would be a good time to use them up.

 Hi All, We are all set for the Rush to Flush Club Fundraising Walk this coming Saturday (24th June). Let's hope the weather is as nice as this weekend!! Each juvenile team of the Club should now be in receipt of sponsorship cards - can you kindly continue to promote this event for the next week with your team(s), families and friends, asking all players to collect as much sponsorship as possible. The sponsorship cards/money should either be returned to you (at training or at the walk on Saturday) - you might then kindly return to either Laura, Ali, Ciara or myself. For those club members and friends walking this Saturday, we will 'walk off' at 12:30pm from pitch 9. We will have marshals /signs showing the way too!!! After the walk we will have some light refreshments in the Club Hall (bar will also be open).

We understand that one or two teams can not participate in the walk at 12:30pm this Saturday, this is due to a match or other team commitments and if this is the case, can you organise your own team walk with all players (including parents and supporters if available) as early as possible.

 Race Night Club Proud This is a piece of news that needs to be told, Last Tuesday night as 3 Raheny GAA lads were walking home from the club, they noticed flames from the Old folks flats in Avondale. They got their mobile phones out (not to snap chat) but to call the fire brigade. Then they ran into the flats and helped evacuate the residents. Thankfully there were no fatalities. These young lads are HEROs. And we Raheny GAA are very proud of them. Well done Cian Storey and brothers James and Andy Keane. FIXTURES

Class Blitz RESULTS Senior B Hurling Championship :- Raheny 0-15 V Oliver Plunketts. 2-8 Hard luck to our own Aoibhin McCarthy who was playing for the Dublin Ladies against Galway in the U14A All Ireland Semi Final  Junior Hurlers The Junior hurlers got back to winning ways on Tuesday night in a keenly contested contest in Finglas. After losing the toss Raheny faced into a strong wind in the first half. It was nip and tuck until the 20th minute when centre half forward Ger Sheehy went off with a hand injury and we conceded a goal immediately after. Given the conditions the lads felt that six points was a gap we could close. However Erin’s Isle got the first score of the second half. However we went on a run after that and got the next six points in a row as Cormac Flynn and Cian Daly chipped in with some nice scores, Cian got one from a sideline but his best was when straight from their puckout he controlled the ball on his hurl and then struck it straight over the bar.
This left us one point adrift and it looked like we would push on. Alas the levelling score proved elusive and for 10 minutes we went scoreless while Erin’s Isle extended their lead. With only a few minutes left it looked like we might have left it behind us but the evergreen Nodge popped up with a goal out of the blue, followed up by 2 more points in quick succession. Erin’s Isle came close to a goal with the clock ticking down but we held firm and the whistle went. It was a great display, full of commitment and good solid hurling from the 17 men that took the field. We are now 2 from 2 in the championship with Sylvesters to play next, the playoffs beckon. Congratulations and Thank You's Thank you to Brickey Rangers for hosting our U12 boys. We look forward to having you in Raheny soon. Where some of the lads bumped into Austin Gleeson.

FIXTURES Our Senior footballers are looking for your support on the 24th at 19:15 against Whitehall Colmcilles.
RESULTS AHL2 played Naomh Barrog on a very wet Saturday evening, exciting game from start to finish ending in a draw Raheny 0-13 v 2-7 Naomh barrog. Our U16 ladies footballers had two great games during the week, first v Clontarf away, a very tight match Raheny were leading by two points and in the last minute conceded a goal, with no time to reply Clontarf won by one point. On Saturday playing away to Ballinteer St John the girls came away with a good win, 8-5 to 2-5. Well done girls. Speedy recovery to Maeve Hanley. U16 Div 1 hurlers Raheny 5:16 v Na Fianna 2:8 Raheny GAA Golf Society Thank you to those who supported the Raheny GAA golf outing last Friday 19th May in St Annes GC. The event was over 12 holes and the 1st prize was a 40 euro voucher for McGuirks Golf. The overall winner was Shane Walsh with a great score of 27 points We try to keep things interesting for all standards of golfer in these events so the next prize was for the person who came 7th and Kevin Aherne won himself a 25 euro McGuirks voucher with 21 points. The final prize was for the best cumulative score on the three par 3 holes. Neil Kelly won this on a count back and received a box of golf balls. David Carroll was unlucky to come 2nd in both the overall event and the par 3 category so he was rewarded with 3 golf balls as a small consolation! Food and drink was enjoyed afterwards back in the GAA club and supporting our club bar is a big reason for these events so please try to come along to some of the next outings and get to know more people in your GAA club. Thank you to those (who wish to remain anonymous) for their donations towards this outing. All surplus funds raised from these events by the end of the year will go to a worthy cause within the GAA club so your help is very much appreciated The dates for our remaining 4 outings this year in St Annes are as follows: Fri 23rd June (tee from 5pm) Fri 14th July (tee from 5pm) Fri 18th August (tee from 5pm) Fri 15th September (this is an 18 hole event and we have the tee booked from 2pm for this one). Thanks Stuart, Fionnan, Mike and Cathal Congratulations to all our member's who made their Communion at the weekend and even managed to tog out on Sunday for the annual "Gunas and Hurleys" photo...  And they are still off .... not long left..well not sure how long left now to be honest
And they are doing a bit of climbing by the looks of things
And he isnt forgetting the clubs recruitment policy by leaving the odd memento for people to find.

 The end of an era, for the past 6+ years every Saturday Morning Ogra saw three ladies man the Coffee dock, without fail, Donna Ivory, Siobhan Reid and Eva Fitzsimons were there to meet your caffeine needs. We would like to say a big thank you to these ladies for doing such a great job and giving up their free time, mustn't forget Mary O Hanlon who has provided amazing biscuits each Saturday. Simon started on Monday morning and will provide coffee, tea and hot chocolate etc from his fab mobile unit from 8am each morning.  FIXTURES
RESULTS Our Senior Footballers had a tough game away to Naomh Olaf but came away with a win and are through to the next round of B championship. Next game for these lads is now Thursday (AIB Cup) v Na Fianna at 7pm pitch 9. Great Character and team effort from our Senior Ladies Footballers to turn around a a 5 point deficit at HT to win by 7 in the league v Fingallians, A similar story from our U16 ladies Footballers who came from 6 points down in the 2nd half to win by 3 points on Sunday v Fingallians.
Congratulations  U12A Football The U12A football team were home on 13th May against Erin's Isle. The boys were looking to build on the win from their first league match against Nh Barrog two weeks ago. Raheny's captain Niall Cox won the toss which allowed his team to play with the wind in the 1st half. Niall went on to put in a fantastic performance, scoring some fine points from play and from frees. The boys played magnificent football in the first half with high quality foot and hand passing complemented by hard support running off the ball. Killian McGuirk embodied this work ethic more than anyone with regular chasing back of his attack minded opponent and he also found space to score a great goal. Time and time again Raheny opened up the Erin's Isle defence and should have been further ahead at half time. Aaron Miller in goal made a number of important saves in both halves to keep Isles at bay. Matthew Sherlock was excellent in defence throughout and got forward to score a fine point. James Wall (2-1) and Cathal Baldwin (2 pts) were a constant threat up front. In midfield, Luke Fitzpatrick (1 pt), John McNally (1 pt) and Shay Keogh (1 goal) never stopped working to ensure Raheny ran out clear winners by 4-9 to 1-2. Special mention to Luke McCullough and Colin McAweeney from the u11s who came on at half time and performed excellently. Best wishes to our u12 players out with long term injuries at present: Conor Nugent, Mark Farrelly, Jack McCarthy and Brian Reddy. We look forward to having you all back playing in due course. U11 Ladies Footballers played exceptional well away to Skerries.   Raheny Under 11s at the new St. Anne's Astro managed by Raheny Sports Alliance.
