Seán O'Mahony's GFC is a Gaelic football club based in Dundalk, County Louth.[1][2][3]

History

[edit]

The club was founded in 1938 and named after the Irish republican Seán O'Mahony.[4]

They won the 2014 Louth Intermediate Football Championship[5] and went on to win that year's Leinster Intermediate Club Football Championship.[6]

In 2015 the club reached the final of the Louth Senior Football Championship for the first time[7] and won it in 2016 by defeating St Mary's of Ardee.[8]

O'Mahony's then advanced to the 2016–17 All-Ireland Senior Club Football Championship, defeating Baltinglass[9] and Newbridge Sarsfields[10] before losing 0–12 to 1–05 in the Leinster semi-final against Rhode at the Gaelic Grounds.[11]

Several players are members of the 27 Infantry Battalion, based at nearby Aiken Barracks.[12]

Liam Dullaghan will manage the team for the 2023 season.[13]
