St Peregrine's GAA, also known as Cumann Naomh Peregrine C.L.G., is a Gaelic Athletic Association club in Clonsilla, Fingal, Ireland.

History

[edit]

The club was founded in 1978 when a group of local people got together with Fr. Joe Madden of the Servite Order and decided to form a GAA club of their own.

Description

[edit]

The club caters for a range of age groups from four years upwards in the parishes of Hartstown, Huntstown, Porterstown, Blakestown and Mountview.

St Peregrine's has a 500-seater spectator stand, a gym, astro turf and sports hall. Local rivals include St Brigid's and Castleknock.

The adult football team competes in AFL3 and also competes in the Dublin Senior Football Championship, having won the IFC in 2006. The senior hurlers compete in AHL3 and the Intermediate Hurling Championship.

The club is humorously referred to as " The Penguins" because of its strip.
