As well as Leitrim Fontenoys there is Clanna Gael Fontenoy in Dublin. Fontenoy is a small town in Belgium. It was scene of a battle on the 11th May 1745 and was part of the War of the Austrian Succession between the French on one hand and the British and Dutch on the other. The British and Dutch were assured of victory or so it seemed until the Irish Brigade fighting for the French made one last charge. To the cry of "Remember Limerick" the Irish Brigade, led by Lord Clare, Charles O'Brien routed the British and Dutch forces and won the day. (The Celtic Cross Memorial erected at Fontenoy by nationalists was unveiled there by the Lord Mayor of Dublin on 25th August 1907)
It is reported that the Ringsend area of Dublin was greatly represented in the Irish Brigade so when the first meeting took place at 20 Bath Avenue on 7th October 1887 the name Fontenoys was proposed and passed.

My home club Mullahoran Dreadnoughts in Cavan, which were founded in 1888, and also the defunct Loughduff Millesians (Loughduff is a kind of demi-parish, as it has its own church etc., even though it is fully in the parish of Mullahoran, hence I use it as my screen name). Mullahoran Dreadnoughts GFC now incorporate Mullahoran and Loughduff into the one parish club. Anyway check out this link on the Cavan GAA page. Some of the names on here are brilliant, Drung Dalcassians, and Finea Knights of Freedom, they are deadly names.
