St. Mary's is the Gaelic football club in the village of Rochfortbridge, Westmeath, Ireland. The club was founded as an amalgmation of Gibbonstown and Rochfortbridge in 1950. The original Gaelic Athletic Association club in the village - Rochfortbridge Warriors - date back much further and were very successful.

[edit] Recent history

On the field things haven't been so good for St. Mary's. They have been relegated from Senior to Intermediate and again to Junior in 2007. The relegations have been made the worse because of the success of rivals Tyrrellspass and also by loss to Milltownpass in the Intermediate/Junior play-off in 2007.

However off the field, the club continues to improve. In 2007 floodlit astroturf was installed to add to the great facilities at the club's central grounds. The club also maintains Fr. Deleney Park as a separate training ground.
