HEATH GAA HEATH GAA First established in 1888, The Heath GAA is a Gaelic Athletic Association Gaelic football club that is based in County Laois in Ireland. They were originally known as St.Patrick’s and played in the colours of scarlet and grey although they have now changed to black and amber. Since being set-up they have put together a history of which they have every right to be proud. In total they have managed to win 10 Laois Senior Football Championship titles with the last of these coming in 1993 when they defeated Ballyroan in a replay to claim the trophy. They have also produced some high quality players such as Shane Hennessy, David O’Hara, Michael Clancy and Michael Lambe who all managed to play in an All-Ireland Minor Football Championship Final. 68 ISSUE 02
