The Dublin County Board of the Gaelic Athletic Association (GAA) (Irish: Cummann Luthchleas Gael Coiste Contae Ath Cliath) or Dublin GAA is one of the 32 county boards of the GAA in Ireland, and is responsible for Gaelic games in the former County Dublin area. The county board is also responsible for the Dublin inter-county teams

Information

General

Dublin play their home league games at Parnell Park in Donnycarney on Dublin's northside. The venue also hosts all the major games in the Dublin club Football and Hurling championships. The current football manager is Paul Caffrey of Na Fianna The current hurling team manager is Tommy Naughton. Dublin claimed four Leinster Senior Football Championships in a row following a one point victory over Laois in 2005, a nine point victory over Offaly in 2006, a six point victory over Laois in 2007, and a 23 point victory over Wexford in 2008. Meanwhile the hurlers retained their status in the Liam McCarthy Cup this year.

Past Presidents

Three men from the Dublin GAA organisation have served as President of the GAA

Daniel McCarthy 1921 - 1924
Sean Ryan 1928 - 1932
Dr. Joseph Stuart 1958 - 1961

The Fans

Dublin supporters, commonly known as The Dubs, are often called one of the best or one of the worst set of fans within GAA circles. This contradiction is best explained by the fact that while many consider the colour and noise that Dublin support brings to the game to be unrivalled, others consider many of the Dublin supporters to be soccer fans, because of the Anglo sports orientation of the Dublin population at large.^{[citation needed]} This may also have derived from the 1970s when Heffo's army was on the march. As can be seen in this [1] of the '74 final, the fans of the time had taken inspiration from English soccer fans with the song You'll Never Walk Alone. While songs are still popular with the Dublin fans they now tend to be Dublin-centric such as Molly Malone and Dublin in the Rare Old Times or focus on the team itself singing Come on you boys in blue. The Hill 16 end in Croke Park is an area for which many Dubs hold a special affection and it is not uncommon to see the Hill filled entirely with Dubs, with perhaps a few opposing supporters. This has given rise to the chant that "Hill 16 is Dublin only".

The Dublin team are sometimes called the The Jacks with the ladies called The Jackies. These names came from a shortening of the word Jackeen a word used by some country folk in referring to Dubliners.^[1]^[2]^[3]^[4]

Notable Fans include former Taoiseach Bertie Ahern and actor Colm Meaney

Restructuring

The GAA conducted a review of the structure of the Dublin GAA organisation in 2002 because of the huge population inequities, and investigated the feasibility of dividing the County into more population-appropriate structures. Plans to divide Dublin into two teams, North Dublin and South Dublin, were proposed in 2002 but were rejected by the Dublin County Board.

Currently the Dublin County Board has only decided to divide its development teams. These teams are not considered to be a move towards dividing the county but are in fact a move designed to identify and develop young talent for the County as a whole. The restructured developments teams are North, South and West.

New County Crest

In 2003/4 the Dublin County Board tried unsuccessfully to copyright the Dublin crest in use at the time. The crest at the time was declared to be in the public domain by the Irish High Court as it was too similar to other crests in use by Dublin City Council and other Dublin sports bodies. In line with other county boards at the time, in order to prevent further loss of revenue, the county board designed a new crest which could be copyrighted and registered as a trade mark, which drew from the county's historical past.

The Crest signifies three castles in flame (Dublin City Coat of Arms), a raven (Fingal), A Viking Longboat (Dun Laoghaire-Rathdown) and a book (South Dublin). The Name Áth Cliath in Irish replaces the previous Crests "Dublin".

Publications

A book entitled The Dubs - Dublin GAA since the 1940s was written by former Dublin footballer Seán Óg Ó Ceallacháin was written on the fortunes and misfortunes of Dublin Inter-county GAA from the 1940s to modern times.

Former Dublin footballer Dessie Farrell, wrote a biography on his career as a Dublin player entitled Dessie Tangled Up In Blue.

Summertime Blues, Dublin's Epic Journey to a Historic All-Ireland tells the story of the Dublin team and its fans from the four game saga against Meath in 1991 to the dramatic All-Ireland final of 1995. It is written by Dublin fan, Roland Tormey.

Blue & Navy is a magazine written and published by Dublin GAA fans.

Inter-County Football

History

Dublin first won the All-Ireland in 1891 beating Cork by a 2-1 to 1-1 margin. They won the All-Ireland the following year with victory over Kerry. The Dublin team of the 70's are considered to be one of the greatest teams of all time. The team of that era won 4 All-Irelands ('74, '76, '77 and '83) and won 5 Leinster titles (4 in-a-row) under Kevin Heffernan.

Dublin and Meath were involved in one of the most famous of Leinster championship encounters in 1991, the Dublin and Meath 4 in-a-row tie. The teams had to go to three replays in their Leinster Senior Football Championship first round match before a winner could be found. This series of games had the added factor of the Dublin and Meath being long standing fierce rivals, a rivalry that was increased due to Meath winning the 4 out of the last 5 Leinster Championships and 2 All-Irelands over the previous 5 years to replace Dublin as the strongest team in Leinster. Meath eventually won the series thanks to a last minute goal scored by Kevin Foley, and a point scored by David Beggy, in the third replay.

Management

Pat Gilroy has recently succeeded Paul Caffrey as manager of the Dublin Gaelic Football team. Caffrey resigned in the wake of the the Dubs loss to Tyrone in the All-Ireland Championship in August 2008.

Hurling

History

File:Dublinandantrim.jpg

Dublin versus Antrim during the 2007 National Hurling League in Parnell Park

Hurling is very much the weaker Gaelic sport in Dublin with the last All Ireland win coming in 1938. However, the hurlers have a very fervent following who travel in significant numbers to matches in the provinces.

In the 2005 league Dublin were relegated to Division Two in the National Hurling League, while the minor side won the Leinster Championship for the first time since 1983.

After winning all their games in the league in 2006, Dublin Hurlers gained promotion to Division One with a 0-17 to 1-06 victory over Kerry in the Division Two Final. Following some indifferent displays in the 2006 championship, they still managed to save their status in the top flight of hurling counties and will again contest the McCarthy Cup in 2007. Despite being favourites to go down in 2007, Dublin managed to avoid relegation by finishing in fourth position in the National Hurling League for the 2007 league.
