[edit] Páirc Seán de Brún
Bellaghy's main pitch is named Páirc Seán de Brún in honour of their former club chairman Seán Brown who was attacked and abducted by an Loyalist Volunteer Force (LVF) gang on the evening of May 12, 1997 as he locked the main gate on the Ballyscullion Road. Less than an hour later the body of the father-of-six was found lying beside his burnt-out car just off the Moneynick Road near Randalstown, County Antrim. He had been shot six times.[1]
