Naomh Fionnbarra GAA is a Gaelic Athletic Association (GAA) club that fields gaelic football teams in competitions organised by Louth GAA. It is located in the townland of Ballynagassan,[1] part of Togher parish.[2]
As of 2023, the club competes in the Louth Junior Championship and Division 3A of the county football Leagues. Former Louth goalkeeper Stuart Reynolds is the manager of the senior team.[3]
The club was founded in 1957 when St Colmcille's of Togher and neighbouring club Walshestown Rovers amalgamated.[4]
Clinching the Old Gaels Cup in 1997 as Intermediate League winners ensured that Naomh Fionnbarra would play Senior football for the first time.[5]
Naomh Fionnbarra's victory in the replayed final of the 2001 Louth Intermediate Football Championship was their most significant to date, as the 0–15 to 1–08 win[6] against Seán McDermott's gave the club a first ever adult Championship title.
Naomh Fionnbarra Ladies' football team won the 2011 Louth Junior Championship and the Louth Intermediate Championship in 2022.[7]
The club shares pitches and facilities with fellow parish side St Anne's Camogie club.[8][9]
