St Fechin's GAA
St Fechin's GAA is a Gaelic Athletic Association club that fields teams in competitions organised by Louth GAA. It is located in the seaside village of Termonfeckin, part of Beaulieu parish.
Former Louth county footballer Fr Shane Cullen helped found the club in 1941.
Paddy McGlew, who played football with the club, was Chairman of Louth GAA from 1988 to 1991.
In the late 1990s St Fechin's purchased a 27-acre site at Beaulieu, which would become their new home. The official opening was performed by then GAA president Seán Kelly in August 2003. The site at Beaulieu has 3 GAA pitches and two small Astro turf pitches. In 2020 the club opened a new community centre which has multiple meeting rooms, a hall, remote working area and a kitchen.
Clogherhead club Dreadnots are the clubs local rivals and Knockbridge GAA are the clubs biggest rivals in hurling.
