Welcome to the Ferbane/Belmont Minor GAA Club Internet Site which is regularly updated to keep you Informed of all the latest news in the club. The club has been in existance since 1987 and was founded by Fr. Michael Campbell. Our aims are to provide a safe, healthy, sporting and enjoyable outlet for children in the parish through the medium of Gaelic Games. In these times it is vital that children have recreation facilities available to them. The club activities give children a great outlet to expend their energy and an opportunity to improve their football and hurling skills thus building confidence and self esteem. Our club competes in 11 competitions annually from Minor Football and Hurling championships to under-8 tournaments. In recent years we have enjoyed considerable success in these competitions and are currently county champions in U10 Football, U12 Football and Hurling and are also the 2008 Féile football champions. A bright and successful future awaits us I'm sure.

Many thanks to all our Players, Managers, Selectors, and Supporters. I especially thank all our Sponsors and Supporters who contribute so generously to the Club each year. Our sincere thanks to the Ferbane and Belmont senior clubs for the use of their facilities in Ferbane and Moystown.

Following our competition successes of 2007and winning the county Club of the Year award, congratulations and well done to all our teams who participated in county competitions and tournaments in 2008. The club had another marvellous year and came away with another 4 county titles. Two of the main highlights were undoubtedly our participation in both Hurling's Féile na nGael and Football's Féile na nÓg. We hosted Kildare champions Celbridge for the hurling weekend in June and were in turn hosted by St. Patricks GFC, Fermanagh for the Cavan Football Féile in July where we represented Offaly as county champions. But for a little piece of bad luck in the semi-final, I am sure that we would be celebrating an All-Ireland title in that competition. 2009 sees the return of Féile na nGael to these parts as it is now Offaly's turn to host the Féile hurling finals.
