Congratulations to our minor team who ad a fantastic win in the championship final on Sunday. This caps a fantastic year for our minor club capturing championships at under 14, under 16 and under 18 grades. Well done to involved in the minor club and the three teams and their management.

 

Work is well underway for our novel fundraising event, 'the Killoe 20K Drop' which will take place in the Longford Arms Hotel on Saturday the 4th of November. The show is similar to the TV show ' Million pound prize drop' and offers a superb nights entertainment.

 

We are delighted to date with the response from local companies who have come on board as our major sponsors and advertisers and we thank them for their generosity.

 

The show was launched in the Olde Forge on Tuesday night the 10th October at 8pm with all in attendance being treated to a sneak preview of the show. 

Tickets for the event will be going on sale shortly priced at €20 each.

 

Longford GAA are running Gaelic Football Award 1 Coaching Course in the near future.This is a hugely important course due to the fact that all adult club teams MUST have an Award 1 coach involved since the start of 2016 and by the start of 2018 all adult Club Head Coaches/Managers MUST be Award 1 qualified so we believe that this course will attract a lot of interest and we expect it to fill up quickly
