St Brigids Hurling Club Bringing the beautiful game of hurling to the south of Westmeath for everyone in the area. Larry Gavin was Chairman and Frank Mc Entegart was Secretary. St.

Naomh Brid (St Brigid’s) Hurling Club was founded in 1954.The first meetings involved Frank Mc Entegart, Larry Gavin, Michael Casey, Eddie Casey and Frank Gavin. This venture united all the young men of the area and at times there were about twenty aside playing. In 1957 the club affiliated at Junior and Minor level ,it struggled to find its feet in the early years but eventually won Junior championship and league titles in 1964.The club turned Senior in 1965 and were defeated in the semi finals of 1966 and 1967.The glory days followed in 1968 by winning a Senior title the team was captained by Colm Gavin and again in 1970, 1971, and 1972. The famous three in a row teams were captained by Michael Casey, Ollie Egan and Ollie Gallagher. During the same period the U 21 team won back to back titles in 1966 and 1967 and again in 1969, 1972 and 1979. Paddy Gavin was Chairman during those years. With the exception of a Senior “B” title in 1979 successes on the field of play were few and far between. The club was regraded to a newly reformed Intermediate grade in 1994 and in 1995 St Brigid’s claimed the Intermediate Championship at the expense of Delvin which was won again in 2000. Hopes of a breakthrough to Senior level has not yet happened. In the 1990’s St Brigid’s had some success at underage level when in 1995 they won the Minor “B” championship. 2008 was a successful year for St Brigid’s having reached the final of the Meadow Hall Construction Intermediate Hurling Championship but was narrowly beaten by a single point to Brownstown. In 2009 we went one better and beat Turin to win the Intermediate for the third time. Brigid's added further intermediate titles in 2011 and 2014. In recent years a new focus on the underage structures has delivered success across all age groups and in 2025 we won Under 16 and Minor league titles, with our Minor also contesting the Championship final against Cullion/Delvin. St.Brigid's are now providing players to Westmeath development squads across all age grades. 2025 also seen the club finally purchase their own piece of land in Dalystown with the hopes of turning it into our forever home and to continue to promote hurling in the area.

💛 UNDER 14 COUNTY FINAL 💛
Not the result we wanted today, but our lads can be incredibly proud of themselves and what they have achieved this year.
To reach a County Final in Cusack Park is a fantastic achievement, and every player, coach and supporter involved can look back on a brilliant year with great pride. 👏

We also want to thank all the parents, supporters and coaches who have backed this team throughout the year. Your support means so much to the players and the club.
The final chapter may not have gone our way, but this group has given us plenty to be proud of. A County Final at Under 14 level is a huge achievement.
Well done to every one of the lads. 💛🤍

🏆🔥💛 COUNTY FINAL BOUND!💛 🔥🏆
WHAT A BATTLE. WHAT A PERFORMANCE. WHAT A TEAM!
Our St. Brigid’s U14s have booked their place in the County Final after an absolutely colossal away-day performance against Clann na nGael (Brownstown/Castlepollard).
FINAL SCORE:
St. Brigid’s 5-8
Clann na nGael 3-12
This was a game that had everything. End-to-end hurling, big hits, pressure, momentum swings and scores when they mattered most.
The lads dug deep when it counted. When the pressure came on, they stood up and fought for every ball, every tackle and every score.
The defensive effort was immense.
The attacking play was ruthless.
And the finishing was clinical.
With just two points separating the sides on the scoreboard, this was a test of character, courage and composure — and our lads delivered.
They refused to yield. They battled to the final whistle and earned a huge victory on the road.
👏 Every player played their part. Every player left it on the pitch. As always our travelling supporters played their part too..
Now there’s just ONE MORE GAME between these young Brigid’s warriors and county glory.
🏆 THE COUNTY FINAL AWAITS. 🏆
BRING IT ON!

🟡 Hurling is Growing in South Westmeath! 🏑

A fantastic morning of hurling for our young St. Brigid’s players! 💛🤍

Our Under 8s were in action this morning in Castledaly, while our Under 10s took part in the Southern Gaels Tournament.

Great to see so many young players getting out on the pitch, developing their skills and, most importantly, enjoying their hurling. 👏🏑

The future is bright, and hurling in the south of Westmeath is going from strength to strength! 💪

A huge well done to all the players, coaches, parents and clubs involved in making mornings like this happen.

Keep it going ! 🏑💛🤍
