St Josephs GAA Club was founded in April 2005 by Noel Griffin, a native of Carraroe, County Galway, to introduce youngsters in the area to the sport of Gaelic football.
The club was named after the St Joseph's parish of Waltham Cross and was accepted into the Hertfordshire Gaelic Athletic Association, or Herts GAA, as a Junior club and began playing games against other sides in the County from Watford, St Albans, Luton and Oxford.
This year (2011) we are fielding sides in the under-8, under-10, under-12, under-14, under-16 and under-18 age groups and now are holding training sessions for senior (18 & over) players with the aim of fielding a side before the end of the 2011 season.
In 2010 we were delighted to see our Under-16 team lifting the Herts County Championship for the first time.
We believe if Gaelic Football is not only to survive but flourish in this part of Hertfordshire, the introduction and promotion of our game in both Primary and Secondary schools initially will help our Club grow organically.
