Hertfordshire County board was created in 1960. The County encompasses Oxfordshire, Middlesex, Hertfordshire, Buckinghamshire, Bedfordshire and Cambridgeshire.
We would like to announce our CDA, Stephen Lavery, has been promoted to Head of Games Development and Operations for Britain, meaning he has sadly left us in Hertfordshire🟢🟡
Have a read of the below article to see the impact Stephen has had on our County
Everyone across Hertfordshire GAA extends our deepest condolences to the family and friends of Mattie Maher, particularly his wife Denise and two children, at this terrible time.
Ar dheis Dé go raibh a anam
London GAA is extremely saddened to report the absolutely awful news that referee Mattie Maher passed away earlier this evening.
He had been reffing a provincial match in Watford when he took ill, but passed away en route to the hospital.

A great day learning from Dr Richard Cheetham MBE🙌🏻🤩
‘Learn to play, play to learn!’ The importance of playing and having fun while coaching children!🥳
Thank you so much to
@twowheelprof
and our coaches for taking time out on a rainy day to help with our continued development
Next weekend 24th - 26th is a special one for our Senior County Football Team. They travel back to Ulster to play a selection of teams across the province. Huge thanks to Eamon and John for organising this.
As the dust settles on another very busy and successful ABC event the sad news about the passing of John Gormley has been breaking.
Hertfordshire County Board and wider County Committee would like to extend our deepest sympathy and heartfelt condolences to John’s family;
Great stuff having 27 coaches enrolled on today’s Introduction to Gaelic Games Course!👏🏻🤩
