📰 Around the club


We had a great response to our Emerald Park offer for the October 4th, with over 150 Straffard members availing of the offer.
For those who have reserved tickets, you should receive a request from your team mentor over the coming days requesting payment.
We are looking forward to seeing all the Straffard club gear on show on the day! 🎢


We are looking forward to the annual Tish Kearney Community Fun Day in Straffan GAA on Saturday the 20th September.

GAA President Jarlath Burns will be in attendance on the day to officially open the new pitch at 2pm.

🏐 On the pitch

U7s blitz in Kilcock
Our u7s were back in action on Saturday in Kilcock for their first Autumn blitz.
Great skills on show and lessons learned against Celbridge, Balyna and Kilcock.
A great show from the girls 🤸‍♀️

U11s Blitz
Our u11 ladies had a great afternoon last Saturday in Leixlip.
They played two very competitive games against Balyna and Rathcoffey.
Straffard Abú 🇫🇷

U16s vs Moorefield (Division 3)
Our U16s travelled to Moorefield last night in Div3.
After a titanic battle the girls came away with a 1 point defeat.
Hard luck to the players, very unlucky on the night after putting in a massive performance. 👏


U14s vs Kildangan/Nurney (Division 2)
Our U14 Div 2 team produced another solid performance last Saturday in Ardclough.
They overcame Kildangan/Nurney to make it 2 wins from 2 and top the division 2 league table.
Well done girls 👏


U14s vs Kill (Division 6)
Our U14 Division 6 team were out in Kill last weekend to play a strong Kill outfit.
Although the girls lost on the day, they put in a massive effort, particularly in the second half against a strong wind.
They gave everything right until the final whistle and their brilliant attitude was rewarded with a flurry of great scores in the last 10 minutes.
A great bunch of players 💪🇫🇷
