Cabinteely GAA

Cabinteely GAA welcomes the commencement of planning process by Dun Laoghaire Rathdown County Council for a shared sports pavilion for Kilbogget Park.

The Kilbogget Park Sports Pavilion, designed by Dún Laoghaire Rathdown County Council architects, will provide a range of high quality sports facilities for GAA, soccer, rugby and athletics. This project supports national, local and Sport Ireland policies that promote multi-use and greater facility sharing. The existing Kilbogget clubhouses will remain in place, operating as they do currently.

The two-story, universally accessible and energy efficient building will contain multiple changing rooms, referee rooms (male and female), high performance strength and conditioning room and classroom for meetings / video analysis / training. The project also provides for expanded MUGA facilities, skills wall & teen zone and public toilets to serve the wider community. The pavilion will also include a Changing Places toilet that offers larger supported facilities that address the needs of people with complex care needs.

We encourage members to register their support for the project on the Dún Laoghaire Rathdown CitizenSpace consultation website . Following a successful planning process, the project will go forward for funding in the next round of the Large Scale Sports Infrastructure Fund.

Well done to all the players and coaches!

Our camogie teams were back in action this weekend, showing great character and resilience in two tough away fixtures.
**U11s**
The U11 girls traveled to take on St. Patrick’s Palmerstown on Saturday. Facing tough opposition with a smaller squad due to other commitments, the girls dug deep and showed fantastic grit. They even contended with a downpour toward the end of the match without losing focus.
The team should be very proud of the determination they displayed, and they certainly earned their treats on the way home. We look forward to seeing everyone back at training this Wednesday to review the game.
**U13s**
The U13s played away against Shankill today in what was a significant milestone for the group. It was their first time competing on a full-sized pitch and their first encounter with a team at this competitive level.
While Shankill proved to be a very strong side, our girls put up a great fight and never gave up. The coaches and parents are incredibly proud of the effort they put in from start to finish. The team is now looking forward to their next home game on Sunday, April 26th. 💙

It was a busy weekend for our boys’ football teams, with strong performances and great progress across the age groups.

The U9s had a very competitive morning of football against Geraldine P. Morans. It was a great test for the group, and they showed excellent focus throughout the match.
**U10s**
Well done to the U10 lads who put in a massive shift against a strong Ranelagh Gaels side in Donnybrook Stadium. They showed great resilience to dig deep, particularly in the second half. A special congratulations to Tadhg and Cian for recording their first scores for the club.
**U12s**
The U12s had a great day out against St. Patrick’s Donabate. There has been a clear step up in performance over recent weeks, and it’s evident that the work being done on the training pitch is paying off.
We are always looking for new players born in **2014 and 2015** to join this group. All are welcome to come down to training, which takes place every **Tuesday at 7:00 PM**. Well done to the lads on a huge effort; there is plenty more to come from this squad.

It’s been a productive week on the pitch for our camogie teams with two strong friendly performances ahead of league matches.
U11s vs.
Our U11 girls played a friendly against Éire Óg in Kilboggit this evening. It was a well-contested game between two evenly matched teams, with high levels of teamwork and skill on display from both sides.
We would like to give a special mention to the girls who played their first-ever match tonight; they performed brilliantly and settled in well. Well done to everyone for a great game played in the right spirit. 💙
U13s Away Friendly
The U13s traveled away to play Éire Óg in a friendly match characterized by great team spirit throughout the squad. Thank you to Greystones for hosting us; we look forward to meeting again in the future.
