Naomh Ólaf CLG
Standard colours |
Naomh Olaf is a Gaelic Athletic Association club which was founded in 1981 to provide facilities for encouraging the sporting abilities of the people of the developing parish of Balally in south County Dublin, Ireland.[1] A club house was built and players were recruited from around the area, most of them coming from the local schools of St Olaf's, Gaelscoil Thaobh na Coille, St Benildus College, and St Tiernan's. In recent years more and more players are coming from the Leopardstown and Stepaside areas.
Location
The club is located on the Sandyford Industrial Estate in Dublin and recruits players from all around the Sandyford and Balally area. In 1999 Dundrum-Churchtown joined forces with Naomh Olaf to serves both Dundrum and Churchtown areas. The club now has 9 schools in their area stretching from Churchtown right up to Stepaside.
Recent achievements
Football: The Club won promotion back to Division 2 in 2016, winning the promotion playoff after just missing out on automatic promotion. The club won the Dublin Intermediate Championship in 2013 and went on to represent Dublin before losing in a thrilling Leinster Intermediate Club Football Championship Semi-Final replay. The Junior team won Division 9 in 2016 and now football teams compete in AFL2, AFL5 and AFL9.
Hurling: The club's two adult hurling teams playing in AHL3 and AHL6 and the 1st team competed in the Intermediate hurling championship.
Ladies Football: After a long absence the club fielded an adult ladies team again in 2012 after the successful launch of the G4M initiative. A core of the G4M's transferred to a full adult team competing in the lower end of the leagues but have quickly progressed and took a championship in 2012, a cup and league double in 2013, and cup honours in 2014 and 2015. The team will compete in Div 4 in 2020.
Camogie: In 2015, the club fielded an adult Camogie team for the first time ever, and finished the season with a Championship to show for their efforts. The club also has over 100 juvenile camogie players so the future looks bright.
