Rip.ie, The Irish Times Building, 24-28 Tara Street, Dublin 2, Ireland Kilmacud Crokes made a bid for the site in July of last year, it's understood. Pic: INPHO/Evan Treacy The parcel of land on the Ticknock Road in the foothills of the Dublin Mountains has been zoned for sports facilities subject to planning permission and both units have made offers for the property In a circular to its members in recent days Ballinteer St John’s executive outlined how they went about bidding for the land which was put on the market in the spring of last year “Ballinteer St Johns made a preliminary offer on the site subject to further site investigation engaged in pre-planning consultation with DLRCC (Dun Laoghaire-Rathdown County Council) which delivered opinion on the site subject to caveats “The committee then engaged with a Consulting Engineer firm who carried out an extensive survey engineering and environmental studies on the site All the evidence concluded that it was challenging The email adds that they learned of Crokes also making an offer as they formalised their own proposal The Irish Examiner understands Crokes made a bid for the site in July of last year St John’s state they made a counter-offer last week but had received “no update on the status of that bid” The pressure on GAA clubs in Dublin to reflect their growing membership has reached unprecedented levels Ballinteer has over 3,000 members and five pitches including their main field in the adjacent Marlay Park as well as two juvenile pitches in Broadford and three pitches and a half-sized all-weather surface It is believed they spend 50% of their membership income on renting pitches from the council and private owners The pair’s clubhouses on the Grange Road and Glenalbyn are 8km away from each other Although there is no parish rule in Dublin St Johns’s catchment area is largely Ballinteer nearby club Geraldines P Moran’s purchased a five-acre site in Cornelscourt for €1 million from the Catholic Church who had been using the facility along with the GAA club The Dublin County Board remain on course to create playing facilities in Spawell Templeogue and Hollystown in the north-west of the county From as little as €1 a week with our digital introductory offer Already a subscriber?

to 0-9 away win at Skerries Harps The hosts started on the front foot as they held their opponents scoreless in the opening quarter and a brace of Greg McEneaney points and a Ciaran Murphy free had Skerries three points to the good Ballinteer struck back in an impressive manner as goals from Luke Breathnach and Ben Millist Eoghan Fitzpatrick and Breathnach saw them enter the break with a 2-4 to 0-4 lead That lead was stretched to eight points after the break courtesy of a Breathnach brace as Skerries struggled to stay in contention despite a trio of frees from Murphy St John’s continued to add to their tally through Joe Sweeney Carey and Dan O’Leary and with both McEneaney and Killian McGinnis being dismissed Millist settled the issue with his second goal of the night in the last quarter The lively Breathnach finished the contest with 1-5 to his name with Kevin Mulderrig Colm Fitzpatrick and Matthew Gardiner central to Ballinteer’s twelve-point win Their lead at the summit of

table following their 0-11 to 0-7 win against Clontarf The foundation for their victory lay in their solid full-back line of Harry Donaghy Conor Hanrahan and Ryan Baynes with Donaghy particularly resolute on the night the three points from play by Darren O’Reilly was the key scoring contribution while Donagh McCabe enjoyed a strong showing in the away midfield in addition to kicking an excellent score St Jude’s did enough to get the better of Thomas Davis with Stephen Coen scoring five points in their 2-15 to 2-11 success Goals in the first-half by Kevin Lahiff and Eoin Kenny saw

Kickhams eased their relegation concerns with an impressive 1-13 to 1-10 win against Kilmacud Crokes Ryan Lowry and Eoin Dolan ensured that the hosts remained on the front foot for the large part and

up an unassailable lead through further scores by Adam Conway Whitehall Colmcille’s return to AFL2 was confirmed as they lost to Cuala by 2-17 to 2-9 while Castleknock moved away from the trap door
