Graiguecullen GAA - History

History

Founded in 1898, the club colours are green with a red hoop and white shorts. The club originally competed in the Laois championships before being expelled in 1926 following an incident in the County Final against Milford in Rathoe. In 1927, they were invited to join the Laois Championship and they have remained there ever since.

During its time in Carlow GAA the club was extremely successful winning no less than 13 Carlow Senior Football Championship titles before returning to compete in the Laois championships in 1927.

The Club grounds are called Fr. Maher Park.

Famous quotes containing the word history:

    Throughout the history of commercial life nobody has ever quite liked the commission man. His function is too vague, his presence always seems one too many, his profit looks too easy, and even when you admit that he has a necessary function, you feel that this function is, as it were, a personification of something that in an ethical society would not need to exist. If people could deal with one another honestly, they would not need agents.
    Raymond Chandler (1888–1959)

    The history of every country begins in the heart of a man or a woman.
    Willa Cather (1876–1947)

    When the history of guilt is written, parents who refuse their children money will be right up there in the Top Ten.
    Erma Brombeck (20th century)
