Allocating Titles

Titles are assigned to clubs, not parishes or villages. Many areas/parishes had more than one club - for example Drumlish and Ballinamuck were separate competing clubs for the first 4 decades of the 20th century, and played against each other in the County final of 1927, while Longford town had 5 different clubs and Killoe had 3 different clubs at various points in history. To be historically accurate and consistent in an approach, the titles of clubs which won titles as separate and different entities are not combined, for example Longford Slashers, Longford Wanderers and Longford Leo Caseys titles are all shown separately – this makes sense as they were separate clubs at the time and the establishment of Longford Slashers in 1954 came about as a result of combining two separate clubs - Longford Wanderers and Whiterock Slashers, into a new club. To combine those titles would be re-writing history and would be factually incorrect. The titles won by Fr. Manning Gaels and Drumlish Young Irelands are recorded as one combined tally because both were parish-wide clubs, but they are not combined with the titles won solely by Drumlish or Ballinamuck 98's – those are recorded separately because those were separate and competing clubs. For much of the period between 1890 and the late 1940s, Drumlish and Ballinamuck were separate and individual clubs within the one parish, and won championships as such. Young Irelands was then established as a parish-wide club, and when it went out of existence in 1967, Ballinamuck re-emerged as a junior club. The establishment of Fr. Manning Gaels club in 1969 marked an end to more than one club in the parish of Drumlish and this single club has existed since.
