 Fullen Gaels were formed in February 2005 in St Kentigerns Social Club, Fallowfield, Manchester by a small group which includes Denis Cleary (St Brendan’s GAC) Richard Deloughry (St Anne’s GAC) Seán Hackett (St Lawrence’s) and Michael Kennedy (St Brendan’s GAC) passionate about hurling and with a desire to reintroduce the sport to (historic) Lancashire after an absence of two decades, following the Sarsfields club's disbandment.The Club was named after Fr Emmet Fullen of Derry, who was a founding member of St Lawrence's GFC, a former Lancashire player and chairman of the Lancashire County Board.The original club colours chosen were red and white, the colours of Derry, colours which were not worn by any of the clubs in the Lancashire GAA.
