About

Due to lack of other hurling clubs in the north-west area, Fullen Gaels compete in the Warwickshire county championship.

The club also competed in the London Hurling League division 2 in 2006, winning the Ronan cup this was the clubs first piece of silverware. We have players from a number of traditional hurling counties represented like Kilkenny, Cork, Tipp, Galway, Limerick, Antrim etc and non traditional Kerry, Armagh, Cavan etc. and there are also a number of very good second-generation Irish players at the club. We have players coming to training from all parts of the North west like Liverpool, Chester, Bolton and even Leeds

This year we had a number of players involved in the Warwickshire hurling squad for both the Nicky Rackard cup and the Leinster shield.

The Clubs name is derived from Rev. Fr. Emmet Fullen of Derry, who did tremendous work for the development of Gaelic Games in Lancashire, he was Lancashire County Board Chairman and Lancashire Player.
