Killoe Young Emmets (Irish: Emmet Óg Cill Eo) is a Gaelic Football and Ladies' Gaelic football club based in Killoe, County Longford, Ireland. The club is also referred to by the Irish 'Emmet Óg' or by 'Killoe Emmet Óg'.[1] Organised Gaelic Games in the Parish of Killoe can trace its origins back to 1889 and the formation of the Killoe Erins Pride GAA club.[2] Following a long period of no competition in Longford during the 1890s and early 1900s, the GAA re-emerged in Killoe in late 1903 under the new name Killoe Young Emmets and the club competed in Senior Football Championship in 1904, the first such championship held since 1891. Killoe Young Emmets has won 14 Longford Senior Football Championship titles and 1 Longford Senior Hurling Championship title and has a thriving youth section called Killoe Óg. The Killoe Ladies club was formed in 1980 and enjoyed considerable success in the 2000's and 2010's.

History

The first GAA club in the Killoe area was founded in 1889 as Killoe Erin's Hope (soon renamed Killoe Erin's Pride). The club is named after the Irish patriot Robert Emmet. The clubs crest shows 1889 as a nod to the origin year of the Killoe Erins Pride club, the first GAA club in Killoe parish. The earliest published record of a Killoe game was a tournament fixture between Killoe Erins Pride & Dromard O’Briens in Cornadrung in November 1889. The tournament in Colmcille included Drumlish Robert Emmets, Mullinalaghta Leaguers, Arva Davitts, Cornafean Tom Moroneys, Killoe Erin’s Pride, Dromard O’Briens, Mullahoran Milesians, Ballywillan Michael Davitts and Gowna West Breffnies. The club is based at Emmet Park with facilities including clubhouse, floodlit pitches, gym & meeting rooms which 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.
