Shannon Gaels GAA club is an Intermediate Football Club in West Clare based in the parish of Labasheeda, Kilmurry McMahon and Tullycrine. Shannon Gaels GAA Club has it’s home pitch in Labasheeda, Co. Clare.
Our club was formed in May 1887 under the name Labasheeda. Our first ever game was played against Kilmacduane(Cooraclare) on the 21st of that month. The game ended with a victory to Kilmacduane on a scoreline of 0-1 to 0-0. The club continued for another 13 years without any success, until 1900 when a parish team under the name St. Patricks captured the county title from Kilmihil by a winning margin of six points. It wasn’t until 1930 that the whole parish united as one club (Labasheeda). The name Shannon Gaels did not appear until 1940, however once again there was a split in the parish. With the split continuing, the Gaels captured the Cusack Cup in 1944. For a period of three years there was no club in the parish until 1949 when the parish once again united, this time under the name of Shannon Gaels and it has remained so to this day.
