Sean O'Heslin's GAA Club was recently described by Micheal O’Muireachertaigh as ‘the most vibrant club west of the Shannon’. It has a healthy juvenile section boys and girls as well as ladies, senior and junior mens football, not forgetting the staunch brigade of hurlers. The Club house includes a gym facilitating fitness classes for players, members and the general public. This adds a social dimension to the club and opens it up to all age groups. The quality of the pitch surface is such that it attracts County and Inter County Matches all year round. The state of the art club house, stand and dressing rooms is one of the finest facilities in any club in Ireland.
