Liffey Gaels GAA is a Gaelic Athletic Association club in based in the Inchicore and Ballyfermot areas of Dublin.
History
[edit]The club was founded in 1951 and was known as Rialto Gaels at that time.
In the 1970s and 1980s the name was changed to "SS Michaels & James" as St Michael's CBS & St James's CBS were the two schools which most of the club members originated from.
Their colours at the time were Maroon & white (no blue). Two of the mentors who were the driving force at the time were Brian Greg & Sean Fox.
The change of name to Liffey Gaels came in the early 1980s.
The club has adult football, hurling and camogie teams and underage teams at various levels.
On 4 March 2016, the club announced that it would be merging with neighbours Good Counsel for their upcoming adult hurling campaign[1] and would be playing under the name "Counsel Gaels".
The club played its last match under the Liffey Gaels name versus St Vincents on 11 November 2018.[2]
