D’eirigh go maith linn sa reamh-chomórtas agus sa Craobh le blianta beaga anuas. I 2009, bunadh foireann péil na mban Gael Raghnallagh agus i mbliana beidh siad ag glacadh pairt i Sraith na mBan Ath Cliath.
This year will see us compete in Division 8 of the Dublin Senior Football League, after achieving successive promotions in the last 2 years. We have also performed well in cup and championship competitions in recent years. 2009 saw the formation of the Ranelagh Gaels Ladies Team, and this year they will take part in the Dublin Ladies Senior League.
Lasmuigh den ár gcluichi, tá muid ag leansan le ár iarrachtai próifil agus seasamh an chlub sa cheantar aitúil a laidriú agus a fhorleathnú. Cuid den cur chuige sin in ardú próifil an chlub anuraidh nó an phairt larnach a ghlac muid i La na gClub CLG, nuair a bhuail baill an chlub ar an tsraid le pobail Raghnallagh. Tá sé i gceist again leansann den teagmhaill agus caidhreamh sin le bunadh Raghnallagh i 2010, agus muid ag dréam go mhór le fás agus forbairt an chlub a mhéid agus is feidir linn.
Off the field we are continuing to raise the profile of the club in Ranelagh and the surrounding area; a large part if this was our involvement in the GAA’s ‘La na gClub’ which involved club members meeting and greeting the Ranelagh community. We will continue with other such initiatives in 2010 and are looking forward to progressing the club as much as we can.
