Templeogue Synge Street (Irish: Teach Mealóg Sráid Singe) is a Gaelic Athletic Association club based in Dublin, Ireland. Synge Street Past Pupils G.F.C was founded in 1945 and Templeogue G.F.C formed in 1978. The two clubs were merged in 1999. They won the Dublin Intermediate Football Championship in 2008 giving them a coveted spot in the Dublin Senior Football Championship for 2009. They currently[when?] play in AFL 1, AFL 5 and AFL 9 [1]
Dolphin Park[]
Dolphin Park is the club’s home ground. It originally belonged to Synge Street CBS but the club took over the ground on an 850 year lease in the early 2000s,[2] with the assistance of the GAA.
In 2018, the club submitted plans to redevelop part of the grounds in order to generate funding to build a new, modern, two-storey clubhouse.[2] The plans were initially rejected, in part because of a local campaign to maintain access to ever decreasing green spaces in the south inner city.[3]
In November 2019, the plans were eventually approved on appeal.[4]
