Our History

St. Benedict’s Football Club Dalkey 1916 – Cad is Ainm Dóibh?

We previously reported that St. Begnet's GAA was believed to have existed since 1917, but had spent several decades in the wilderness before being resurrected in the 1950s. Now, that belief about its earlier existence can be upgraded to certainty.  We even know the identities of its early players and officials and can point to their being in operation by 1916. But there's a catch. They were not who we thought they were

Cuala Hurlers 1920 – and our very first Match Report

We first reported on the Cuala Hurlers of the 1920s back in 2011. Now Cartlann Digiteach Cuala has an excuse to re-post because not only have we obtained a better image of the team but we've also built up a better picture of their activities including the earliest-ever Match Report of a Cuala team.

Cuala Casements 1967 – 1974 – the Dunphy legacy

Cuala Casements has earned a special place in the hearts of many of today's older members. Prior to its evolution into modern-day Cuala, the Sallynoggin-headquartered outfit played a huge part in promoting juvenile teams and it left an indelible mark in the local GAA landscape. now we have a meticulously recorded record of their exploits.
