Club History
Duleek/Bellewstown GFC is a Meath GAA club formed by the 2007 amalgamation of Duleek (founded 1887) and Bellewstown (founded 1964), with a rich history including one Meath Senior Football Championship win in 1943, multiple Intermediate titles (last in 2005) and Junior Championships, focused on developing local talent and modernising facilities like floodlights and new pitches for future growth.
Key Highlights:
- Formation: The current Duleek/Bellewstown club officially merged in 2007, combining the distinct histories of Duleek and Bellewstown GAA clubs.
- Senior Glory: Their peak came in 1943 with a single Meath Senior Football Championship title.
- Intermediate Success: They've won the Intermediate Football Championship five times (1939, 1955, 1966, 1978, 2005).
- Junior Wins: The club also secured three Junior Football Championships (1921, 1935, 1995).
- Bellewstown's Separate History: Before merging, Bellewstown had its own successes, notably a Junior Championship in 1986, but later faced challenges based on lack of playing numbers, slipping to Junior B grades before the amalgamation.
- Development Focus: The club is committed to youth development and has invested in significant ground upgrades, including new pitches and floodlights, to support its growing player base.
Overall: Duleek Bellewstown GFC carries a strong local GAA heritage in Meath, marked by various county-level achievements, and is actively building for the future through player development and enhanced facilities.
