Father Griffins GAA

Father Griffins is a Gaelic football club based in Galway, Ireland. It is a member of the Galway branch of the Gaelic Athletic Association (GAA). The club is solely concerned with football.

From its founding in 1948 until its final county title in 1975, and before almalgamating with Éire Óg, Father Griffins achieved several success in Galway. The club won the Connacht Senior Club Football Championship twice, falling at the semi-final stage of the All-Ireland Senior Club Football Championship on both occasions.

On 14 February 1948 the following item appeared in the (now defunct) Galway Observer:

“A very enthusiastic meeting of Gaels was held recently at the C.Y.M.S. Hall, Galway for the purpose of forming a football club in the city. After a lengthy discussion the plans were made for the formation of the club, which will be known as the Fr Griffin G.F.C. Many meetings have taken place and it has been decided to affiliate a senior and a junior team in the current year’s championship. If there are any interested and wish to become members of the club they should contact any member of the committee or write to the Hon. Secretary. Great strides have been taken to ensure success and so far the seeds of a good senior team have been laid. The following have been appointed –

Chairman: John Daly

Vice-Chairman: Stephen Lally

Secretary: Sean Kindillon “Gracedieu”

Treasurer: Jimmy Ward
