Our senior team is thrilled to announce the launch of their annual National League Predictor fundraiser, now bigger and better than ever!

The newly established Gaelic for Mothers and Others Colmcille team is gearing up for an exciting 2025 season, and are on the lookout for a manager to lead the way! This is a fantastic program that provides women of all ages and fitness levels with the opportunity to learn Gaelic football in a fun, non-competitive environment. It’s designed for those who may not have played before or who are returning to the sport, offering a chance to stay active, make new friends, and be part of a team. Having a Gaelic for Mothers and Others team in Colmcille GFC is a wonderful addition to our club, fostering inclusivity and community spirit while promoting health and well-being. If you or someone you know is interested in helping out in any way, we’d love to hear from you. Please contact Sinéad on 086 152 4339 for more information.
Colmcille GFC, in collaboration with Colmcille Ladies Club, is delighted to sponsor footballs for St. Colmcille’s NS ahead of the upcoming School Boys’ and School Girls’ Championships. We are excited to see the students back on the pitch, training hard, and honing their skills as they grow and develop as players. Supporting our local schools and fostering a love for Gaelic games is a key part of our club’s mission, and we wish all the young players the very best in their upcoming competitions!
Best of luck to the Longford Senior Football team as they kick off their Division 4 National Football League campaign this Sunday against Limerick in Glennon Brothers Pearse Park.
