Beannachtaí lá Fhéile Bríde oraibh go léir
Beannachtaí Lá Fhéile Bríde oraibh go léir. Happy St. Brigid’s Day to everyone as we officially mark the first day of Spring.
We are delighted to launch our revamped website on St. Brigid’s Day as we start another busy season of Gaelic Games in Russell Park. The club nursery and juvenile matches have recommenced. The adult team are also back training. We hope that the new website will be a useful resource of information, news and will be of assistance to players, coaches, parents, supporters and the wider community. There are still some pages under construction and we welcome members with an interest in web content/social media who wish to assist going forward to contact us at pro.stbrigids.dublin@gaa.ie.
The St. Brigid’s cross is at the heart of our club crest and we are proud to be at the heart of the Blanchardstown and Castleknock communities since 1932.
