Bevan Duffy has called time on his 13-year inter-county football career with Louth.

The St Fechin's clubman, who made over 100 apperances for the Wee County, goes out on a high after winning a Leinster SFC medal this year. Duffy scored a point from wing forward as Louth defeated neighbours Meath in the final to end their 68-year wait for the Delaney Cup.

“It’s been an unbelievable honour to wear the Louth jersey, and I’m grateful for every moment,” he said in a statement released through the county board.

“Thank you to my family and friends for all the support — especially my mam and dad, and my wife, Phoebe. A special mention to my daughter, Lydia; having her by my side in recent years has meant the world to me.

“To St Fechins, thank you for your support since the day I first stepped onto the pitch on the Sheetland Road. Representing our club and community while playing for Louth has been a real honour.

“To the Louth supporters, thank you for the support through the great days — but especially during the tougher times. Thank you to the Louth county board, and to all the managers and backroom teams I’ve worked with over the years. I want to wish Gavin Devlin and his management team the very best going forward.

“And to my teammates — past and present — thank you for everything. Sharing the pitch and the dressing room with you has been an honour. An Lú abú.”

Paying tribute to Duffy, Louth GAA chairman Sean McClean added: “On behalf of the Louth county board, our clubs and supporters, I’d like to thank Bevan for his many years of unwavering commitment and dedication to Louth GAA, both through his club St Fechins and while representing Louth on the field of play.

“Bevan has been a colossus at the heart of our senior team and somebody who has given his all to the cause every time he stepped onto the pitch in a Louth jersey. He was an integral part of over the past decade and got his just rewards with a Delaney Cup medal earlier this year.

“He will be fondly remembered by Louth Gaels for many years to come. We wish him and his family all the best for the years ahead.”
