History

Emmet-Park

The first GAA club in Killoe was founded in 1889 as Killoe Erin's Hope (soon renamed Killoe Erin's Pride). The earliest published record of a Killoe game was a tournament fixture between Killoe Erins Pride & Drumard O’Briens in Cornadrung in November 1889. The tournament in Colmcille included Drumlish Emmets, Mullinalaghta Leaguers, Arva Davitts, Cornafean Tom Moroneys, Killoe Erin’s Pride, Dromard O’Briens, Mullahoran Milesians, Abbeylara Davitts and Gowna West Breffnies.

By 1904 the various clubs in the parish (Killoe Erin's Pride, Killoe McMahons and Soran O'Connell's) had either folded or merged, leaving Killoe Young Emmets (named after the Irish patriot Robert Emmet) as the sole club in the parish. While the club name is Killoe Young Emmets, it is also referred to as Killoe Emmet Óg. The Club grounds at Emmet Park includes clubhouse, floodlit pitches, gym & meeting rooms and was officially opened by GAA President Peter Quinn in the company of then Taoiseach Albert Reynolds in June 1993.

Killoe participates across all Gaelic Football competition age groups in Longford and also participates in Scór competition, winning 4 Leinster titles and reaching 5 All Ireland Finals across Scór and Scór na Óg.
