Mayfield GAA

[2] Mayfield GAA Club was formed in 1893 and competed, at both Minor and Junior level, with victories during its early years in several feiseanna and tournaments.

[citation needed] In the 1970s, Mayfield claimed a total of 18 titles at adult level across both codes, including a victory in the hurling County Final in November 1978.

[citation needed] A restructuring of the underage section began to pay dividends, and the club won the Minor A Championship in football and hurling in 1994, 1995 and 1996.

[citation needed] In January 2002, a new complex was built at the club grounds at Lotabeg which comprised a new gym, a multi-purpose sports hall, a 400 seat viewing stand over the main pitch, and new dressing rooms.

In 2008, Mayfield GAA Club was nominated to partake in the RTÉ television program Celebrity Bainisteoir.

The series involved various celebrities taking over as coaches of local Gaelic football teams and competing against each other.
