Our club crest has had a number of different but broadly similar designs over the years. This is our most recent update from 2023.
Naomh Seosamh CLG means St. Joseph’s GAA Club – Cumann Lúthchleas Gael (CLG) is the Irish for Gaelic Athletic Association (GAA).
Dia agus Éire (God and Ireland) and the cross are no doubt a connection to our primary founder – Father Harry Sinnott who was a Catholic Priest as well as an inspirational community activist. While Ireland is far more secular and multicultural these days, back in the 1950’s and 60’s Catholic Religious fervour was quite prominent.
The pikes honour the heroes of the 1798 Rebellion and they remind us of their bravery and fortitude. A Gaelic Football sits at the intersection of the pikes to point out that we are a club focussed on Gaelic Football.
The 3 burning ships is a well known symbol of Wexford and is a nod to our turbulent Norman past where many wars and massacres took place.
