Turn on the 'Lights #6

 Turn on the 'Lights # 6: Santry & Starlights GFC: Starlights GFC , the local GAA club for Santry , Turnapin , Cloghran and surrounding areas. The growth in the wider Santry area over the last few years has been nothing short of colossal. As the only GAA club in Santry, it is important for Starlights to be at the forefront of providing social and sporting activities for the Area.  The area has been lacking in amenities for far too long. Despite the increasing population, there is still no National school. Although, we believe this will change in the not to distant future as the area expands.

  Turn on the 'Lights #3 Welcome to edition  #3 of Turn on the 'Lights, our regular news feed to keep us in touch with our members and friends wherever they may find themselves around the world. A Brief History: Santry Starlights Starlights GFC was founded in Santry Village in 1950 with P. Lawless, N. Farrell and L. Murphy recognized as the founding members. At the time Santry was a tiny village on the outskirts of Dublin City where it bordered with the 'Country' part of Dublin, or Fingal. Coolock Lane and Santry Avenue still form that border to this day for electoral purposes. Turnapin Lane was in the 'country' part of the devide and consisted of 36 houses nestled on the back road to Clonshaugh and Coolock.  In the 1950 era there was a large group of teenage boys from Santry, Turnapin and surrounding farmlands, probably hanging around with not much to do, but eager to play football.
