Ranelagh Gaels

Ranelagh Gaels 0-7 Kilmacud Crokes 2-8

RANELAGH Gaels lost their first game of the year in a friendly to Kilmacud Crokes at Bushy Park on Sunday, but it was still a good workout before the start of competitive action.

Crokes started the more confident and quickly established themselves on the game.

Within a matter of moments the visitors had notched up points on the scoreboard while the Gaels struggled to get the ball over the bar, which was reflected in the 2-6 to 0-2 scoreline.

With a number of changes by manager Liam O’Hagan in the second half Gaels started to come into the contest.

Kilmacud dropped their tempo at 12 points up, which allowed Gaels opportunities to get back into the game. Both teams had brief spells of dominance in front of goal but failed to convert. Read the rest

The Ranelagh Gaels Ladies Team will go back to training for the coming season on Thursday February 4th. Then on the 11th the session will be taken by Fiona Healy on the Mervile Pitch at UCD starting at 8:15 sharp.

Fiona has competed internationally in both golf and handball. Her involvement in competitive sport along with her professional qualifications have culminated in her dedication to sport-specific training and strength and conditioning work. This is a great opportunity for our girls and any newbies that are interested in playing with Ranelagh Gaels for the coming season.

A little social gathering for the ladies is scheduled for Smyth’s Pub in Ranelagh on Friday February 12 from around 8PM. This is mainly for us to get to know each other and talk about training, league football and generally getting involved with the team and club.

Everyone is welcome to join us on or off the field regardless of experience.
