Foxrock Geraldines Foxrock Geraldines originally known as Dun Laoghaire Commercials, was founded in 1920 and won a
Dublin Intermediate Football Championship in its first year. The club played both football and hurling and at one stage were a senior hurling club. The club changed its name shortly afterwards to Patrick Morans in memory of a founding member. Patrick Moran from
Boyle,
Roscommon was involved in the 1916 Rising and in 1920 accused of assassination of a British army officer. He was jailed in
Kilmainham and later hanged in
Mountjoy jail in 1921. During his time in Kilmainham, Moran was offered a chance of escape with Frank Teeling, a player of the O’Tooles club, Ernie O’Malley and Simon Donnelly. But believing he had a sound alibi, Moran turned the opportunity down. A plaque was unveiled and a park named in his honour in 1966 by
Éamon de Valera.
Amalgamation Both Foxrock Geraldines and Patrick Morans decided to join forces in the early 1970s. Both clubs had been experiencing difficulties in fielding teams. They played senior hurling for three years before football became the dominant sport. The club won several leagues and cups in the 1970s and 1980s, but the absence of a juvenile section continued to experience difficulties in fielding. A juvenile section was started up in the 1990s and took part in the
Wicklow league, however it was short-lived and had disbanded by 1996. The club won a football cup in 2000 but with the lack of players experienced a drop down the leagues. The juvenile section was eventually restarted and has grown to eight teams today. 2011 was to be a very successful year for the club in its 125th year of existence. The under 14 team won the Division 6 Football feile. The minor football team were division 4A runners up. The club won its first championship in 2011 in
Junior Football, with one of Dublin's oldest clubs beating one of its newest,
Tyrrelstown in the final. ==Honours==
