Raheen GAA (Irish: Cumann Luthchleas Gael Ráithín) is a Gaelic Athletic Association club in the village of Geashill in County Offaly, Ireland. It fields Gaelic football teams from juvenile up to adult levels.[citation needed]
Raheen's Adult football teams compete at Intermediate[1] and Junior B grade.[2] The club's catchment area includes the villages of Geashill and Cloneygowan.[3]
In 2019, there was an attempt to amalgamate with their neighbours Ballinagar, when Ballinagar GAA and Raheen held discussions on amalgamation. Both EGMs were held with Ballinagar supporting amalgamation but Raheen fell short of the 75% needed for it to pass.[4]
Juvenile setup
At underage level, the club amalgamates with Ballinagar and Clodiagh Gaels to form Na Fianna. Na Fianna provides underage football and hurling for these clubs.[citation needed]
