Ballyboughal GFC

Ballyboughal GFC was founded in 1935. The first club chairman was Rev. Fr. Sheenan. At the time Ballyboughal had players from many of the surrounding villages. The club was called Ballyboughal Rangers. The lads travelled to matches on bicycles all over Fingal. The late Dick Swift (R.I.P) looked after the jerseys and finances. Dick (R.I.P) carried t... he jerseys on the handlebars of his bicycle with his son Peter on the bar. He later served as chairman of the club. After about five or six years both Fingal Ravens and Ballyboughal were finding it hard to field a team as there were no young players to take over from them. A meeting was held and Ballyboughal and Fingal Ravens amalgamated as one club under the name Ballyboughal. They wore black and white jerseys. In 1943 this team drew with Parish Gaels in the semi-final of the Junior Championship.Read More
