.
The first meeting of the outdoor bowling Green was in 1994
.South Dublin County Council asked the indoor bowling club were they interested in having a new outdoor green.
The then chairman of the bowling club Philip Greevy with a few members met the Council officials.
A number of meetings were held over the following years with a Mr George Byrne then Chairman of the bowling club and SDCC requesting what progress was being made regarding the new Green. Eventually It got the go ahead and finance around 2007 and work started on site
As work was progressing on the new green both the indoor bowls committe or Greenhills Community Council informed SDCC they were unable to take on the running of the Green.
So in August 2009 a Steering committee was formed from a number of bowlers from other clubs and on 7th September 2009 the first Committee meeting was held and set about preparing the way forward. Several more meetings were held in such places as Community Hall,Football Club, Crumlin Bowling club and SDCC Offices to overcome problems of responsabilities and insurance etc. We owe a great deal of thanks to that Committee and SDCC officials who done a lot of very hard work to get us up and bowling namely
Dr Christy Boylan
Mary Keenan
Michael Hannon
Carmel O Grady
Thomas Cowzer
Thomas McDermot
With the help and guidence of Denis Patrick who we owe a great deal of thanks for all his hard work on our behalf
We entered our first Winter league competition in 2010 and in 2011 we played in division 5
We also owe a big thank you to Greenhills indoor bowls for their generous donation of 1000 Euro,s which helped us a lot
The very first competitive match played on our new green was on 2010 but not by Greenhill,s as we were drawn away but by Crumlin V CYM
Our very first competitive match was away to Greystones played at Shankill in the 2010-2011 All weather bowling league
Our very first home game was on the 30th Oct 2010 against Dun Laoire
The clubs 1st Game in the BLI was 2011 Devision 5 V Leinster
Right from the start we had a roll up every Wednesday which is still going strong to this day
In 2012 all the members backed a decision to purchase our own clubhouse so with a loan from the Credit Union And an interest free loan of 15 Thousand Euro from the BLI which was a great help we managed to Purchase a building which consists of a ladies&gents changing rooms' toilets' and a small kitchen.
All this Work from the formation of the club to the building of our clubhouse would not have happened only for the sheer determination and hard work of some of our present members Namely
Joe Farrell
Our Chairman who spent hours at meetings with council officials ,planners,builders.To get this club up and running
Joe was and is a great organizer and motivator of people to move mountains to achieve the facilities which we enjoy very much today
Marie Mc Grane
Marie's sheer determination and a will not fail attitude resulted in three years of very in dept hard work on our behalf which helped make this club what we have today
Christy Fenlon
Christy brought a vast amount of experience to the table for meetings with council&planning officials and often helped swing the balance of whether we achieved or failed in the tasks at hand
