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, Masters Football, Handball and Camogie. This archive is the result of 10 years of voluntary research using a variety of public domain resources. This digital archive is 100% developed and designed by our research team, 100% self-funded, 100% independent and is not affiliated or associated with any GAA or LGFA organisation.

Longford Gaelic Stats contains over 4000 match results researched by our volunteer team. All match and player records are researched from scratch by our team using contemporaneous sources, and do not use pre-existing or third party datasets. Our research prioritises 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 in 2022 we undertook the creation of a dedicated digital archive to store and share the records, and protect the research from loss and vandalism. By 2024 the archive had expanded to include County Football, County & Club Hurling, Ladies Football, Masters Football, Camogie and Handball and all records were then updated to the end of 2025 to give the archive a 135-year span. We wish to acknowledge Padraig Ferguson (Football) and Leo McGough (Hurling) for helping to point the way during inter-county research, and the Longford Leader archive, which is an invaluable resource for research.

Research 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.
  • Custom illustrations of Players, Cups, Jerseys, Maps & Teams are all are strictly proprietary.
  • We operate a zero tolerance to abusive remarks or aggression towards our research team.
  • The final decision on content, layout & design for website & social media rests solely with our team.

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.

Archive Designer & Researcher

This website is the ‘go-to’ for anything to do with Longford Gaelic Games from 1890 right up to the present day. Meticulously researched by a volunteer group, it combines titles, results, statistics and much more in a simple yet elegant layout that is informative, insightful and user friendly. The research behind Longford Gaelic Stats has been ongoing for the past 10 years and every detail stated on this website has been verified through one or more of 100 plus archives researched. This is truly a labour of love by the research team, and but for them much of the information would not be readily at hand and more importantly would possibly be lost forever.
