Rathcoffey Gaa (Paperback)

Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. Rathcoffey is a Gaelic Athletic Association (GAA) club in County Kildare, Ireland. Teresa Lynch, Nuala Malone and Eileen Reilly were selected on the Kildare camogie team of the century. The Rathcoffey James Leahy branch of the GAA was set up under the chairmanship of Henry Travers in February 1888, having given assurances that it would accept no members from William O'Brien's club in Clane. They beat Staplestown 6-12 to nil in one of their first matches. Rathncoffey gave a walkover in their only appearance in the county senior football semi-final in 1912. Jim Dalton, a Rathcoffeyman playing with Clane, played for Kildare in the 1935 All Ireland final, Rathcoffey forms St Edward's along with Ardclough and Straffan for underage purposes and St Edward's fields teams at all levels from Under 9 to Under 21. Although Rathcoffey has few youths in the village it still manages to produce some of the finest juvenile footballers.
