Club Notes 20th June 2017
 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). Any friends or other family members walking on the day, we will have a registration desk (on pitch 9), a contribution of €10 per person / €25 per family is requested. 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. We hope that you, your teams, families and friends will get behind this Club project. Should you have any questions etc. please drop me a line. Ní Neart go cur Le Chéile, Regards, Patrick Patrick, Laura, Ali & Ciara OGRA Our last Ogra is next Saturday, it is also our last Ogra on the club Astro. Saturday Ogra will move to 'pitch 5' (RSA Astro pitch in St Anne's Park) in September.
As always we are looking for volunteers to help with registering our new players, or simply to chop fruit. If you have 30mins to spare to help out on Saturday mornings please contact Alison on 086-2909022.

 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.

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

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.
