Stradbally GAA (Irish: Sráid Bhaile CLG) is a Gaelic Athletic Association club located in Stradbally, County Waterford, Ireland, with teams in both Gaelic Football and Hurling. Players include Waterford county hurling captain, Michael Walsh. Despite being so successful in the County Senior Football Championship, winning 19 times, Stradbally have never won the Munster Senior Club Championship, being losing finalists twice. Stradbally won 5 Waterford Senior championships in a row between 2001-2005. They won further titles in 2009, 2010, 2012, 2015 & 2017.Despite winning the 2017 Waterford Senior Football Championship, Stradbally did not represent Waterford in the 2017 Munster Senior Club Football Championship due to the county not completing its club championship in time- the county final occurring a week after the provincial final due to the hurling having been prioritised. This meant Waterford had no team in the Munster Championship that year. This was not the first time Stradbally had been negatively affected in terms of participation in the provincial championship, having in 2015 been forced to play their Munster Quarter Final only one day after winning the County Final.

Woodhouse is a Georgian mansion and c. 500-acre estate just outside the village of Stradbally, County Waterford, Ireland. The original house was built in the early part of the 16th century by the Fitzgeralds (a branch of the Desmond Geraldines) and was owned by them up to 1724. By 1774 it was recorded as being in the possession of the Uniake family, and by the time of Griffith's Valuation in 1868 it was owned by Robert Uniacke and was valued at £52 10s.In 1855 the house came into the ownership of a branch of the Beresford family and in 1894 the house and estate were recorded as the seat of Robert H. Beresford. In 1906 it was the property of John Beresford and still valued at over £52. In 1942, the Irish Tourist Association survey notes that the owner of the house, Major Lord William Beresford was then resident in India.The Irish National Inventory of Architectural Heritage describes the house as: Detached three-bay single-storey over basement gate lodge, c.1850, with three-bay two-storey rear elevation to south.
