Rashenny Football Club

Rashenny Football Club Established in 1976 The Club was established in 1976 by a group of local men eager to participate in a regular game of football. Carndonagh F.C.

However, within a season their "team" had grown to a full club with such a demand for places that a second team was formed in 1977. Under the supervision of the ubiquitous Denis Doherty Rashenny "United" soon earned a reputation for success with perhaps the pinnacle being victory in the 1984 Carndonagh Open Cup. Meanwhile Rashenny "Rovers" chipped away with measured success. topped by a remarkable

Cup Final performance in 1985 v. In 1986 the Club embarked on a major development programme to provide a football pitch and modem changing facilities for the area. By 1990 after a tremendous four year struggle the pitch was officially opened by Ireland's World Cup hero Paul McGrath. It was a great coup to acquire McGrath's services a month after the World Cup with his visit proving wholly enjoyable. Since then backed by financial assistance from both the F.A.I and the National Lottery, the club has embarked on stage II, the construction of changing rooms. Built entirely in a voluntary capacity by club members and volunteers from the local community, the facility has been completed in less than a year. It certainly stands as a fine example of the power of community co - operation!

Rashenny 4–5 Quigley’s Point Swifts Reserves

A frustrating night under the lights at Trawbreaga Park as Rashenny let a strong winning position slip against a very good QPS side.

Goals from Jake O’Donnell, Damien Friel, Patrick Doherty and Shane Gordon had Rashenny in control at 3–1, but a late push from the visitors saw them score four times and turn the game on its head.

Rashenny will be kicking themselves for not capitalising on the position they had worked themselves into and were unfortunate not to rescue a point with the final kick of the game, as a late penalty was missed.

John Grant’s side will now turn their attention to Saturday night’s game against Gleneely Colts as they look to get their first three points on the board.

A brilliant moment for the Devlin family at the weekend, with Brian Devlin lining out alongside his two sons, Leo and Ryan, for Rashenny.

It’s not often you get the chance to share the pitch with one of your sons, never mind two.

A great photo and a lovely bit of history for the three of them to look back on!

MATCH RESULT

Rashenny Reserves 4–2 Redcastle Reserves

A great start to the new season for our Reserves, who picked up all three points at Trawbreaga Park in very warm conditions.

Rashenny were on top for much of the opening half and took a deserved lead on 33 minutes when George McGuinness beat his man before finishing brilliantly from a very tight angle into the far corner.

Redcastle levelled shortly after the restart through a Gary Kelly free kick, but Rashenny responded well. On 70 minutes, Abdul Alrasheed raced onto a through ball and produced an excellent low finish to restore the lead.

The visitors equalised again in the 79th minute, but the lads showed great character to take the lead for a third time just four minutes later. Leo Devlin found Kian Doherty-McCloskey on the edge of the area, and he turned before firing high into the roof of the net.

The points were sealed late on when David McLaughlin broke into space and lifted the ball over the advancing goalkeeper to make it 4–2.

A strong opening-day performance from Owen Joseph Cuffe’s side and a great way to begin Rashenny FC’s 50th season. 💙⚽

Our First Team fixture against Quigley’s Point Swifts Youths was cancelled, with the fixture now reversed and rescheduled for Wednesday night at Trawbreaga Park.

THE NEW SEASON BEGINS

This Sunday marks the beginning of a very special season for Rashenny FC, as both of our senior men’s teams get their campaigns underway in what will be the club’s 50th season.

Our First Team travel to the School Field in M**f to take on Quigley’s Point Swifts Youths, while our Reserves are at home in Trawbreaga Park against Redcastle Reserves.

John Grant continues at the helm of the First Team, while Owen Joseph Cuffe once again takes charge of the Reserves.

It would be great to see plenty of support out for both squads as we begin another season of football.

Here’s hoping for a strong start and a good year ahead for both senior men’s teams ⚽
