Ladies' Gaelic Football Club
2010 was the most successful year in the short history of DCU Ladies' Football Club. Our first team captured the O'Connor Cup for the second year running, beating UCD in the Semi Final and UUJ in the Final, at a finals weekend which we also hosted for the first time. Our Second Team were unlucky to be beaten in the Division Two Lynch Cup Final by a very strong Mary I team. However, one must be mindful of the huge progress that has been made in the Club when you consider that our first team won that same competition only five years ago, and now our second team have reached the final and were disappointed to be beaten. It was great to have over 50 girls involved in our home finals weekend, which was excellently organised by Cathal Daly, Fiona Hudson and Aoife Greene.
Our teams were coached this year by Peter Clarke, Angie McNally, Colm Kearney, Ciaran Wrynne, Declan Hetherton and Eimear Dolan.

Famous quotes containing the words football and/or club:
“In this dream that dogs me I am part
Of a silent crowd walking under a wall,
Leaving a football match, perhaps, or a pit,
All moving the same way.”
—Philip Larkin (1922–1986)
“The barriers of conventionality have been raised so high, and so strangely cemented by long existence, that the only hope of overthrowing them exists in the union of numbers linked together by common opinion and effort ... the united watchword of thousands would strike at the foundation of the false system and annihilate it.”
—Mme. Ellen Louise Demorest 1824–1898, U.S. women’s magazine editor and woman’s club movement pioneer. Demorest’s Illustrated Monthly and Mirror of Fashions, p. 203 (January 1870)
