Ballinamore Seán O'Heslin's Gaelic Athletic Association is a Gaelic football, hurling and ladies' Gaelic football club based in Ballinamore, County Leitrim, Republic of Ireland.[1][2] [3]
The club was founded as Ballinamore in January 1889 in McGauran’s Railway Hotel. Unusually for a County Leitrim club, they have always fielded teams in both hurling and Gaelic football.
Local schoolteacher Seán O'Heslin was a driving force behind the club in its early years; he died in 1942; Sean O’Heslin Memorial Park opened in 1952 and the club was renamed Ballinamore Seán O'Heslin's in his honour in 1953.
The club won twenty one Leitrim Senior Football Championships between 1913 and 2021, but have not won it since; they last reached the final in 2021 where they won .[4][5][6][7] O'Heslin's also reached the final of the Connacht Senior Club Football Championship on four occasions — 1968, 1973, 1986 and 1990 — losing each time.[8]
Aladies' Gaelic football team was founded in 2003.[9] Camogie has been occasionally played, around 1917, revived in 1945–50 and again in the late 1990s; there is at present no camogie team.[10]
