Additional Notes

  • Granard Region (1978) = Granard + Ballymore + Mullinalaghta.
  • Northern Gaels (1976) = Dromard + Fr. Manning Gaels

Note: The Northern Gaels cited above is different and separate from the Northern Gaels underage club formed some years later by the Abbeylara and Mullinalaghta clubs. Abbeylara and Mullinalaghta compete in underage competition and Under 21 as Northern Gaels to this day. 

St. Marys Granard won a three-in-a-row of titles for 1966, 1967 & 1968, all in the same year. The championship finals from 1966 and 1967 were delayed until 1968, while the 1968 final itself was played on Sunday 29th December 1968, with Granard beating Mostrim by 2-3 to 0-3. The MacAogain Cup (Fr. Egan Cup) was used for U-21 competition back then, and was presented to the winning captain.

Competition changed from U-21 to U-20 grade from 2018 to 2021, and then back to U-21 from 2022.
