Here is our New Louth GAA Scene – Each week we will keep you updated on the Club and County scene from the Wee County

If you wish to include any item of interest in future articles, please e-mail at pro.louth@gaa.ie on or before 6pm on Monday.



Leinster G.A.A. U-13 & U-15 Cross County Football & Hurling Leagues 2019


In 2019 once again, our Leinster GAA Games Development Committee chaired by Iar-Uachtarán Liam O’Neill, aim to provide more games, more games of a similar standard and also to lengthen the playing season around the province, therefore giving players more exposure to GAA for longer each year. In doing this we aim to increase participation, combat drop off and improve standards.

Due to the heavy snow in the early part of 2018, when the country came to a standstill we lost a full round of games which made it very difficult to complete some competitions. There is nothing any one could have done about this, but some later games were called off due to rain and unplayable pitches and we want to try avoid this in 2019. Taking this into consideration, we have taken the step that should a venue be unplayable, Leinster GAA will be block booking a number of astro turf venues throughout the province, which will be the alternative venue for any game which falls foul to the weather.

With the above change and the alterations from your feedback regarding deposits, gradings and distance travelled in the last two years, we endeavour to have a more definite calendar which provides games for players and clubs in the early part of the year.

Competition Structures

We have decided based on feedback this year to divide all teams into divisions in the North and South of the Province based on gradings advice from our County Coiste na nÓgs. Each division will be made up of groups of four, therefore giving each club three games at their own standard in their region. Following this, the top team in each group will proceed to the Provincial Cup semi-final and finals day and the second placed team in each group proceed to the Provincial Shield semi-final and finals day. This allows us to cut down on travel and try to provide games of a similar standard throughout the competition.
i.e. Cup Semi Finals: 1st place in Div 1 Group A vs 1st place in Div 1 Group B

1st place in Div 1 Group C vs 1st place in Div 1 Group D

i.e. Shield Semi Finals: 2nd place in Div 1 Group A vs 2nd place in Div 1 Group B

2nd place in Div 1 Group C vs 2nd place in Div 1 Group D

O’Raghallaighs

Know Your Sport Competition Winner

After much ticking and bashing on the entry forms, we are delighted to announce an early Christmas present for our Know Your Sport forecast winner.

In a tight contest, two O’Raghallaighs legends and former teammates finished top of the pile with a score of 170. Step forward crystal ball gazers Barry Murtagh and Niall Moroney.

They managed to hold off the chasing pack of David Sheehan, Robbie Sweeney, Conor McCabe, Ruairi O’Reilly, Sean Daly, Mark Quinn and Janet Griffin on 160 points and the third placed grouping on 150 points containing Iggy McGuigan, Denis Nawn, Declan McCabe, Garerth Monaghan, Ciaran Brassil, Anne McCann, Terry Duffy, Ann Carolan, Fionan O’Suilleabhain, Ken Milne, Robert Morgan, Marie Quinn, Kevin Ward, Shane Loughran and Laura Black.

All other entrants crossed the line on 140 or under and it’s fair to say Equestrianism is a subject lacking experts in this part of the globe, with no one correctly picking this year’s Aga Khan trophy winners (Mexico).

But, just like the Aga Khan, there can be only one winner and, as often happened on the training pitch many moons ago, it came down to a one-on-one between ace sharpshooter and steady netminder. Dublin have been shooting the lights out for the last number of seasons and this year racked up an aggregate total of 220 points on the scoreboard, just slightly too much in our tie break for Stavros (257) and more than plenty for Barry (200).

Congratulations Barry Murtagh, our Know Your Sport Prediction Winner for 2018.

Thank you all for participating and contributing to a memorable year for our Under 14 squad.

Scór 2018

In the 50th year of the Scór, we were delighted to be represented in two disciplines by Naomh Mhartins and Hunterstown Rovers in the Leineter Semi Final. Both groups did their clubs and County proud and in addition, we had the fantastic news that Naomh Mhartins will be progressing on to the Leinster Final! Well some to all the competitors and their mentors and good luck to Naomh Mhartins as they progress further in the Competition!

We hope that next year we will be more highly represented and have more clubs getting involved.

With the Scór Sinséar coming up in the new year, we welcome anyone over 17 who has any interest in taking part to contact Clodagh McClean by email for more information.

We will also be holding a tráth na gceist (table quiz) in the new year to find a team both U17 and over 17 to go to the final to represent Louth.

To express interest or for any information, please email Irishculturalofficer.louth@gaa.ie ... See MoreSee Less
