Killygarry are a Gaelic football club from County Cavan in Ireland. They are affiliated to Cavan GAA.

History

  • Founded in 1966.

Young football enthusiasts from the area, who were playing with local teams like Lavey, Drumalee, Cavan Gaels, Laragh and Ballinagh, held a meeting in Killygarry National School - this was to be the beginning of Killygarry G.F.C.

The first match was played against Cavan Gaels on Narraks Hill. In the space of a few years the team worked their way through the ranks to senior level in 1971. Over the next few years the more seasoned players began to give thought to retirement ...thus a new chapter was unfolding.

Crubany Athletic Grounds

On the 8th of May 1988, the Killygarry Athletic grounds were opened in Crubany. The club went into the nineties with similar expectation to that of the original team, winning the Junior title again in 1990, and many underage titles in the same decade. The next big win was in 1998 when the intermediate team won both the Division 2 league and Championship.

Killygarry Athletics Grounds

The grounds are some of the best in Ulster host a main field, a training field, gym, running track, four changing rooms, media room, large car park, shop and kitchen. One of the largest fund raisers in the country is being implemented nationally to raise funds to further the facilities in Crubany.

Achievements

Killygarry has reached the previous 3 Cavan Senior Football Championshipsemi-finals in a row, loosing out to Denn and Cavan Gaels.
