Colmcille GFC (Gaelic Football Club) is a Gaelic Football and Ladies Gaelic Football club based in Aughnacliffe, County Longford, Ireland.[1] Colmcille most recently won the Longford Senior Football Championship in 2022 defeating Mullinalaghta by a scoreline of 1-07 to 0-08.[2]

History

Colmcille GFC is named for Saint Colmcille (or Saint Columba) (AD 521–597) who founded Inchmore monastery on an island nearby on Lough Gowna.[3] The club won the very first Longford Senior Football Championship in 1890 as Columbkille St. Columbkilles.[4] They have won six more county senior titles since then, the latest in 2022.[5] [6]

Colmcille was one of Longford's first five Ladies Gaelic football teams, first playing in 1980.[7] [8] [9]

They play home matches at Fr. McGee Park in Aghacordrinan, south of Aughnacliffe.[10]
