Dreadnots GFC is a Gaelic Athletic Association (GAA) club that fields gaelic football teams in competitions organised by Louth GAA. It is located in the south Louth seaside village of Clogherhead.
The club has a local rivalry with neighbours St Fechin's.[1] As of 2023, the club competes in the Louth Senior Championship and Division 1 of the county football Leagues.[2]
History
The club was founded in 1887, making it one of the oldest active GAA clubs in County Louth. In 1889, Dreadnots reached the final of the Louth Senior Football Championship, losing to Newtown Blues by 1–02 to 0–03.[3]
The 2002 arrival of former Louth inter-county star Colin Kelly from Newtown Blues helped propel Dreadnots to two Louth Intermediate Football Championship titles in 2004 and 2008.[4] In 2010, forward Páraic Smith played in the controversial 2010 Leinster Senior Football Championship Final against Meath.[5]
123 years after their first appearance in the Senior final, Dreadnots contested the 2012 decider at the Gaelic Grounds in Drogheda against reigning champions St Patrick's. Once again they were runners-up, as St Patrick's won convincingly by nine points.[6] A third visit to the county final in 2014 - this time under the management of now-retired Colin Kelly[7] - ended in defeat to the same opposition as St Patrick's prevailed by two points, 1–10 to 1–08.[8]
