About Us

Longford Gaelic Stats is an Independent Digital Archive aimed at preserving 135 years of Longford Gaelic Games statistics, records and insights for Club and County from 1890 to 2025 across Gaelic Football, Hurling, Ladies Football, Handball and Camogie. This archive is the result of 10 years of voluntary research using a variety of public domain sources and publications. The digital archive is independent, self-designed and self-funded.

Longford Gaelic Stats contains over 4000 match results researched from 2014 to 2024 by our volunteer team. All match and player records were researched from scratch by our team using contemporaneous sources, and did not use preexisting or third party datasets. Our research prioritised primary sources and contemporaneous reports over secondary sources or accounts that retold, analysed, or interpreted events later or at a distance, thus avoiding the common mistake of codifying memory-related error into historical records. Our research began in 2014 and ended in 2024. In 2022 we undertook the creation of this dedicated digital archive to store and share the records and protect the research from vandalism. Our digital archive expanded thereafter to include County Football, County & Club Hurling, Ladies Football, Camogie & Handball. We wish to acknowledge Padraig Ferguson (Football) and Leo McGough (Hurling) for helping to point the way on a few occasions during inter-county research, and the Longford Leader archive, which is an invaluable resource.

Research concluded in 2024 and was conducted independently, voluntarily and without fear or favour.

• This archive was researched independently and is not affiliated or associated with any organisation.
• Research prioritised primary sources over any secondary sources that retold, analysed, or interpreted.
• Club titles are allocated to club units. If clubs merge to create a new club, old titles are kept separate.
• Request for changes or corrections to this archive must be accompanied by supporting material.
• We operate a zero tolerance to abusive remarks or aggression towards our research team.
• Digital illustrations of Players, Cups, Jerseys, Maps & Teams are all are strictly proprietary.
• The final decision on content, layout & design for website & social media rests solely with our team.

If you spot an error in any of the thousands of records on this digital archive, or wish to provide clarification or suggestion to our team, please Contact Us and a research team member will get in touch. We can also be contacted by email at info@longfordgaelicstats.ie or you can DM our team via any of our social media accounts (X, Facebook, Instagram, Blue Sky or Threads). Hence there are seven different routes to contact us if you need to do so! Change requests without supporting material will not be advanced.

This digital archive covers 135 years of records from 1890 to 2025, and is not updated after 2025.

Searching Tables:

Many of the tables on this website have a search box located at the top which can be used to search or filter the table by keyword(s). To refine your search or filter a table by the exact spelling of a word, use inverted commas around your word (i.e. “Keyword”).

Rolls of Honour:

The Roll of Honour tables on this website display winners in descending order of titles won. If two or more teams are tied on titles won, the team to reach that total first is placed highest in the displayed order. If clubs merge or amalgamate to form a new club, titles from the old clubs are not merged into one combined total, but are retained in original state to reflect the historical record of who won those titles. Examples include titles of Longford Wanderers & Whiterock Slashers kept separate from titles of Longford Slashers (formed 1954), titles of Ardagh St. Patricks and Moydow Harpers kept separate from titles of Ardagh Moydow (formed 2019) and titles of Drumlish and Ballinamuck clubs kept separate from titles of Fr. Manning Gaels (formed 1969). Any newly formed club units will have titles displayed from formation date onward.
