St Jude's GAA
St Jude's (Irish: Naomh Jude) is a Gaelic Athletic Association club based in Templeogue on the southside of Dublin. The club fields teams in Gaelic football, hurling, camogie and Ladies football. Teams are fielded from Senior Grade down to under eight level. The club also runs an academy which caters for children from four years of age to seven years of age.

History

Bishop Galvin National School was formed in 1975. There were 110 pupils in that opening year and the desire to play football and hurling was high among the school children. Internal leagues were introduced and these blossomed in the summer of 1977 into football being introduced into the Summer Project.

It was in this period that St Judes G.A.A. Club was conceived. The formation took place at a meeting held in Bishop Galvin School on the evening of 18 July 1978, when a committee was appointed to look after the affairs of the new Cumann Peil Naomh Jude.

Within a number of weeks, the season and the new club were under way. Two teams were entered in the South East Leagues at Under 10 and Under 14 levels.

In those days, St Judes were something of a nomadic outfit playing games wherever a pitch was available. Most of the home ties, though, were played at Bushy Park and then later in Bancroft Park in Tallaght.

The first honours to come to the new club was at Under 11A level in 1980 when the club won the South East League. It was at this stage that St Judes Club found a new permanent home in Tymon Park and with the acquisition of the playing fields.

In 1981, the club's Under 10s won the South East League and the Under 12A side were runners up: in 1982 there was again success at Under 10 and the Under 12s finished third.

In February 1982, a new hurling and camogie section was inaugurated and the name was officially changed to Cumann Luthcleas Gael Naomh Jude.

As of 2020, St Jude's football team was managed by Gareth Roche.
