History

Beagh is one of few clubs whose foundation predates the Gaelic Athletic Association; their first recorded game, against Kilbeacanty in 1870, was attended by Michael Cusack himself.[1]

The 1980s were the most successful years in the club's history with the club achieving Senior Hurling status in 1980 by winning the County Intermediate title.[2]

In 2013, Beagh reached their first ever Galway Senior Hurling Championship semi-final when they defeated Turloughmore in the quarter-final by 2-12 to 1-13.[3] They were defeated in the semi-final by Loughrea by 2-18 to 1-11.[4]

On 15 October 2016, Beagh won the County Junior C Hurling Championship, beating Turloughmore in the final by 1-15 to 0-15.

On 2 September 2017, Beagh won their first All-Ireland Sevens title at Kilmacud Crokes GAA club, defeating Clare's Whitegate 5-17 to 1-22.[5][6]
