Westerns GFC is a Gaelic Athletic Association (GAA) club that was founded in 1951 and fields gaelic football teams in competitions organised by Louth GAA. The club is based in the parish of Reaghstown,[1] close to the town of Ardee and the Louth/Monaghan border.
Westerns have reached the final of the Louth Junior Football Championship four times, in each case being unsuccessful in winning the Christy Bellew Cup.[2][3]
As of 2023, the club competes in the Junior Championship[4] and Division 3B of the county football Leagues.[5] Anthony Durnin is the manager of the senior team.[6]
Reaghstown native Tommy Durnin made his Louth championship debut in 2015 against Westmeath[11] and is still a county player under manager Mickey Harte in 2023.[12] He was a member of the Westerns side that won the Division 3B Football League in 2019.[13] Durnin transferred his club allegiance to Inniskeen Grattans of Monaghan in 2021.[14]
