The NYPD Gaelic Football Club has a deep and rich history in the New York City Police Department, dating back to 1970. Some of the first patrolmen who played for the club in the early years are truly New York's Finest! They include Commissioner John Timoney of the Philadelphia PD, the Cassidy brothers Mike, Jimmy, Paddy, and Jerry, Joe Crotty, Noel Moloney, Brendan Tumulty, Joe Firth, Terry Connaughton, Paddy Higgins, Tim Murphy, Richie Dormer, and Marty Dollard, just to name a few. Who could forget our own Dan Kiely, who has been our coach and constant reminder of the great tradition and pride today's club must live up to! (From the 1st Annual Dinner Dance Journal)
1990's
There was a brief lapse in the team's history in the late 70's and into the 80's, but thanks to friendships that were formed through the New York GAA Minor Board, gaelic football would return to the NYPD. In June of1990, Kieran Croke, Marty Mahon and others fielded another great NYPD team. Kieran led the club for several years both on and off the field, setting a high level of sportsmanship and integrity we will all always be proud of. By the year 2000, the club expanded from those humble beginnings of t-shirt uniforms in the 1970's, to being a sponsored Gaelic Football Club. Many great matches took place in the late 90's, setting the stage for the club's historic trips to Ireland in the coming years. Along with the Fire Department matches, the club played against a Garda Siochana selection, and against the Rockland and Hartford clubs.
2001
The last thing on anyone's mind in 2001 was Gaelic Football. September 11th changed every life. So many great men and women were killed by cowards who say they were doing it in God's name. They were wrong though, because the men and women who put their personal safety aside on September 11th were truly doing God's work. The club lost many close friends including Damian Meehan, Dennis McHugh, and Glen Pettit. May they always rest in peace. Although with heavy hearts, football was played in 2001, which turned out to be a successful one for the NYPD. The on-field highlight came as the NYPD, sporting its new uniforms, defeated the FDNY in a closely played match. Thousands of dollars were raised for the Manny Jiminez Foundation, Project Children, and for the families of friends lost. We must never lose sight that our Club was formed to keep the heritage alive in the greatest job in the world.
2002
2002 was a busy year for the NYPD Gaelic Football Club. Charity games were held against the FDNY, Rockland, and Local 608. The club also made its first trip to Boston to play against the Donegal Junior Club. These great matches helped raise thousands of dollars for our charities. The year culminated with the club's historic trip to Ireland. Our first game on Irish sod was well played by both sides, but in the end the hometown Dubs won out. Apparently, the referee on the Northern Tip forgot how to tell time, allowing the Donegal Gards to scratch out a draw. More important than the great display of football, our members enjoyed the tremendous hospitality of people throughout the country. We are deeply grateful to Eugene O'Sullivan, Enda Mulrman, and Tony Doran.
2003
The team marched on in 2003. Our annual matches against the FDNY and Rockland again raised a ton of money for our charities. The club traveled somewhere new in 2003, playing the Washington Gaels down in Maryland. The club again made its way back to where the sport originated, but it wasn't for football. The club had the privilege to be present at the dedication ceremony of the magnificent September 11th monument in County Kildare. The following poem was written by Cheryl Sawyer and was read aloud at the dedication. The title is, "One."
