Leinster Club SFC
14 Longford clubs played a total of 87 games against 42 different opposition clubs in the Leinster Club Senior Football Championship since it began in 1970. In 2018 Mullinalaghta St. Columbas became the first Longford club to reach the Leinster final and the first to win the Leinster title. A Longford club reached the semi-final stage eight times (Mullinalaghta in 2016 & 2018, Killoe Young Emmets in 2012 & 2015, Clonguish in 1973 & 2003, Fr. Manning Gaels in 1998 and Cashel in 1984).
Longford clubs played 87 games in Leinster Club SFC. Won 24 (28%), Lost 54 (62%), Drew 9 (10%).
Killoe Young Emmets and Longford Slashers played the most games of any Longford club in Leinster from 1970 to 2022 (14 eacb), with Clonguish next with 11 games. Stand-out moments down the years include… (1) the dramatic second half comeback by Fr. Manning Gaels and controversy around their 1-point defeat to Éire Óg (Carlow) in the 1998 semi-final, (2) the infamous brawl between Dromard and Moorfield (Kildare) during their second Quarter Final replay in 2007 which resulted in players sent off, sanctions and Moorfield forced to play their remaining games away from home, (3) the emphatic defeat of Navan O’Mahonys (Meath) by Killoe Young Emmets in Pearse Park in 2012, and top of the list is (4) the historic success of Mullinalaghta St. Columbas in reaching the Leinster Final and winning the Leinster title in 2018.
There were only two occasions where the Longford champions did not represent the county in the Leinster Club SFC: (a) In 1985 when the county final between Ardagh St. Patricks and Mostrim went to a second replay, resulting in the nomination of the 1984 champions Cashel instead, and (b) in 2020 when the competition was cancelled due to the Covid-19 pandemic.
