The score is not important. The big news here is that this is Dromard competing in hurling. A small but important milestone for hurling in Longford. 👏👏

Yep. Thousands of kids (who have terrific internet for Tiktok and online games) were somehow unable to access GAAGo on Saturday but could sit and watch Arsenal v Man United via a significantly more expensive Sky package yesterday. Some might have weak internet, but most don't. 🤷♂️

Congrats to Colmcille's Declan Reilly who became only the 2nd person to win Longford GAA Senior Footballer of the Year award twice! When Declan last won the award in 2008, the current Colmcille senior team captain was just 6 years old!!!

Why? It is an amazing experience for the young lads who get the opportunity. A professional sport which could set you up for life versus an amateur sport which you play for the love of the game. I love the GAA but to rail against this is nuts.

That was tried. 2018 O’Byrne Cup semi between Longford and Meath went to free kicks and Meath won 2-1 in what can only be described as one of the most abysmal exhibitions of free kicks ever seen. Turns out tired legs and long range frees aren’t a good mix!

The Longford Slashers club was formed this week in 1954 (Monday 4th Jan 1954) when Whiterock Slashers and Longford Wanderers clubs united to form a new club. The 'Slashers' name is a nod to Cavan's Myles 'The Slasher' O'Reilly, a legendary Irish hero of the 17th century.

Longford has had just 3 adult hurling clubs for 20 years now. Can't raise more than 20 players from Longford clubs for county team this year. Big investment needed in grassroots hurling in Longford. The few are doing all the leg work. It's unfair and unsustainable.

Very sad news. Alo was Longford hurling manager in 2000 & 2001 and helped the county make real progress in his time at the helm. RIP.
Devastating news emerging from Tullamore this evening with the premature death of Alo Lawlor. A long time Tullamore GAA stalwart, he had a huge hurling passion. Won IHC and SHC B medals in 1989/'90, was a selector when Tullamore won SHC in 2009.A true gentle giant and a real gent

In March 1970 Longford played Clare in SF Challenge in Milltown Malbay. Longford could only muster 15 on the day. When John Smith (Mostrim) got injured there was no sub, so the County Board Chairman Liam Mulvihill (later DG of the GAA) was pressed into action as his replacement.

To mark Féile weekend here is the first team from Longford to compete at the National Football Féile in Cavan in 1982 - Shannon Gaels from Rathcline. Team was trained by an up and coming manager called Denis Connerton. Féile was the brainchild of Granard native Fintan Tierney.

Did you know... Longford is the last county in Ireland to reach an All-Ireland Club final in GAA or LGFA or Camogie at any grade. All other Irish counties & Scotland & Lancashire had already reached a final, but not Longford. The Slashers ladies broke that ceiling for Longford.
