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 champi

onship 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 Division 2 Championship
St. Brigid's 3-10 | Clann na Gaels 4-06
St. Brigid's Under 14s got their Division 2 Championship campaign off to a winning start after edging out Clann na Gaels(Castlepollard/Brownstown)in a thrilling contest that went right down to the final puck of the game.
From the opening whistle, St. Brigid's were in control, playing with great intensity and purpose. Excellent teamwork, sharp finishing and disciplined defending saw the lads lead throughout the game, producing some superb passages of hurling and creating a deserved advantage.
With fifteen minutes remaining, Clann na Gaels mounted a determined comeback, striking for three second-half goals to turn the game on its head and edge in front as the clock ticked down.
Lesser teams might have folded, but this St. Brigid's side showed tremendous resilience and belief. Deep into injury time, with the final puck of the game, Aodhán Dunbar kept his composure to split the posts and seal a dramatic 3-10 to 4-06 victory, sparking scenes of celebration among the players and supporters.
It was a tremendous team performance, with every player making a valuable contribution throughout. The determination shown to respond after surrendering the lead in the closing stages speaks volumes about the character of this group.
A brilliant start to the championship campaign. Well done to all the players and management, and thank you to everyone who came out to support the lads. Your backing made a huge difference. 💛🤍

Under 16 Championship – Round 1

St. Brigid's got their Under 16 Championship campaign off to a winning start with an impressive victory after overcoming a slow opening. It took the lads a little while to settle into the game, but once they found their rhythm, they began to move the ball with confidence and took control of the contest.

With five players unavailable through injury, it was a great opportunity for several of our Under 14 players to step up, and they certainly did. They fitted in seamlessly, worked tirelessly throughout, and made an excellent contribution to the team performance.

The foundation for the win was laid by a rock-solid defensive display, while the forwards worked hard to create and convert their chances. One of the highlights of the evening came from Aodán Berry, who produced a magnificent sideline cut that was worthy of any occasion.

Overall, it was a very encouraging first-round performance, showing great character, teamwork and determination despite the injuries. Congratulations to all the players and management on an excellent start to the championship campaign. Well done, lads!
