Most of their players are in the 17 to 30 age group from around the Ringsend/Irishtown area.
The costs of providing such a significant and professional club are massive, with pitch costs and insurance alone costing in excess of €10,000, but you cant put a price on their achievements and effects on the community. We are therefore aiming to raise €5,000 for them for this season.
The Ringsend/Irishtown area has undergone a massive regeneration work in the past few years and the club’s aim is to be at the forefront of this plan. The players and the club are currently helping out with young people through the schoolboy system in the area, and helping out in most aspects of volunteer work in the community, including working in partnership with the local drug project RDRD in helping people who have fallen into drug and drink miss use. The club itself is viewed by many as a valuable alternative to drink and drugs for the youth of our area.
