Chicago Senior Champions 2013
Chicago Junior B Champions 2013

Our club is based in the city of Chicago itself unlike the majority of other 'Chicago' clubs and we have members from across Ireland. Every year we cater for many J1 students visiting the city for the summer but in recent years we have seen a rise in the number of players coming on the year long J-visa. We are run by a young and dynamic group of people and we have experienced unprecedented success in recent years, a trend which we hope to see continue. So if you are planning on visiting Chicago for the summer or on a more long term basis we would be delighted to hear from you.

For more information on the club you can check out an article on the club that appeared on Hoganstand last week:

Historic year for the Padraig Pearse GAA Club Chicago
03 February 2014

These are exciting times for the Padraig Pearse GAA Club as they face into the forthcoming season as reigning Chicago Senior Football Champions.

Last year was a momentous one for the club, one which began with a dinner dance honouring the men and women who had founded the club just over 2 decades previously and ended with the club clinching their first ever Senior football title on the same day they also claimed the Junior B crown. This success came on the back of winning the Chicago Junior A title the year previous after a title drought of a number of years. The club is a tight knit progressive unit comprised of a diverse range people from the length and breadth Ireland as well as many American born members who work tirelessly together to advance the aims and objects of the club and of its supporters.

This year the club intends to consolidate and build on the success of the previous two years by defending their Senior title while also contesting the Junior championship. The club's recent accomplishments have been aided in no small measure by the bolstering of the clubs ranks with new members from Ireland who have availed of the new US government graduate visa. These new additions to the club's membership have contributed both on and off the pitch with many taking on administrative as well as playing roles within the club assisting established club members in driving the club forward. This influx of new recruits has resulted in the club executive committee being made up entirely of officers under the age of 40, 50% of whom are less than 30 years of age.

The club is ideally located for new Irish residents of Chicago, being one of a minority of clubs actually based in the city itself with many members living in the bustling Lakeview neighbourhood within which Wrigleyville is situated. Its location also makes Padraig Pearses an attractive option for J1 students who visit the city each summer and wish to continue to play Gaelic Football throughout their stay. Training takes place in the city beside Lake Michigan and is easily accessed via the CTA Red Line, while matches take place on weekends in Gaelic Park outside the city.

As well as being fiercely competitive on the football field the club is well known for its social activities in a city renowned for its nightlife with numerous events taking place throughout the summer not least their legendary annual softball tournament. The Pearses have a proud tradition of assisting their members, be they permanent or seasonal in securing jobs, accommodation or in networking with others in their particular field of work and actively strive to retain contact and follow the fortunes of players after they have returned home.

If you wish to join this ambitious and vibrant GAA club based in the city of Chicago or just to find out a bit more information about them you can contact the Padraig Pearse GAA Club via e-mail: padraig_pearse_chicago@homtail.com, Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/pages/Padraig-Pearse-GAA-Club-Chicago/326394434528 or Twitter: www.twitter.com/PearsesChicago

Realt Dearg are based in terenure but are training in stepaside this time if year. We'd love to have you down. We have three teams now so any level of ability will be catered for and you will get games.

We train Mondays at nine at the all weather pitch in stepaside (sadly we couldn't get a better time). Pretty soon we'll be moving on to Bushy Park in terenure (once the hour changes) and it'll be earlier, on Mondays and Thursdays. You'll need a hurl and helmet, the all weather will take moulded studs or runners. Be great to see you, and anyone you know with an interest.

Actually I was wondering this too, just started in college in Galway this year and would love to take the football back up, haven't played since juvenile either but I am bit older (25). Even just to go training with a team, would love to get involved again.

Yeah they do, but on reflection I think they play in the bottom division in Dublin - and that's really social football if thats what you're looking for.

A more competitive side in that area might be Ranelagh Gaels, who play in Division 8 - still not great but you'd probably get a game they have a good social side I understand.

Cuala are moving into Stradbrook in a couple of years. Kilmacud, Naomh Olaf and a few other junior teams are a short spin south.

Feel free to PM me with your details - e.g. if you have a car etc. and I should be able to give you some more tailored options.

Well lad,

Realt Dearg are in your area. Training is in Busy Park in terenure and would be a reasonably short hop. We will be out there on Thursday at 7.15 this week. Several of the lads live down that direction so you can car pool if you want.

www.realtdearg.ie for more info.

Hi I am looking some advice.

I will be moving to dublin within next couple of weeks and I am looking to get an appropriate Football club in the stillorgan area. I know kilmacud are there however I want to be sure I go to someone that is right for my level.

I played senior club football then intermediate club football for my club in Tyrone for the last 10 years. I was never close to county standard but I would have been okay on the club scene. I would like to continue playing football down here.

Anyone any helpful advice.

Thanks

Kilmacud have teams at nearly any level I'd imagine. They are a huge club, but that doesn't appeal to everyone, but finding a team at your level shouldn't be a problem there

BoboDub · 16-04-2014 1:46pm

In the valley of the blind the one eyed man is king!!!

in my experience ex intermediate plauers from other counties can't be as dedicayed to training when they come to dublin - this usually means junior football and a drop in fitness

Yeah would agree on you in terms of dedication, and often they're on the way out anyway, but there are junior teams playing in Div. 4 of the league.

True but its midseason and it would be hard to break into a starting xv of a div 4 team at this stage. Whereas he'd walk into our team and possibly enjoy the football more. I guess its a matter of choice.

Btw We've had a few ex-inter county lads playing for us over the years and often, particularly those from the 2nd tier counties, the feedback is low junior football in dublin is as tough as intermediate or high junior at home.

As an ex-intercounty footballer from probably lower than 2nd tier county, I would say that senior club in Dublin, at least for the larger clubs, requires far higher fitness and dedication. You're looking at high profile managers coming in from outside, training/playing 4-5 times a week, video analysis etc. Not far off county standard in some clubs. There are also some really poor senior teams in Dublin though, as in many counties.

The standard of the better intermediate sides is probably also a little bit higher in Dublin, but the overall standard of football is about the same. Probably a bit more physical in Dub.

Junior I wouldn't be as sure about as I never really played at that level. I've seen some Div.5 games, which aren't bad.

One thing which would challenge a lad coming in from the country is the large amount of games, particuarly if you've been out of the game for a while. The longest you'll go without a game is 2 weeks, and with tough training normally twice a week you've nowhere to hide if you're carrying a couple of knocks!

I am moving to Dublin next week and I was wondering if there is any gaelic football/camogie team (Junior) in the Ballymun/Santry area. I haven't played in years but I think it would be a good way to meet people.

Any advice is appreciated

Thanks

thirdtime · 13-05-2014 1:27am

Hi BoboDub I just saw your post about the Cabinteely Mens team. Is it the St.Francis Gaels club in Cabinteely you run? I'm based in Sandyford and would love to get into playing. Are ye accepting new players, when do you guys train? What is the training like? Many thanks.

westsidestory · 20-05-2014 4:30pm

For those looking to play junior in south Dublin we, Foxrock Geraldine P. Moran's GAA club play & train next door to Dunnes Stores in Cornelscourt, not far from Stillorgan etc. We have a tidy little team that got promoted last year and are always on the lookout for extra players to bolster our small squad.

Hello,
I'm just wondering. Is it possible to be part of a club but train with another at the same time?. I have to be in Dublin once a week over the next few weeks and I will miss training with my club during that day. Is it possible to train once a week with a Dublin club? Even if I don't play any games with them? I play hurling.

Yeah we have a few lads training with us and hurling down home. Some clubs would be happy to have lads join in a session once you're at the right level. Boosts the numbers which gives a better session for the other players.
