History

In 1972 two local teams Laragh and Stradone amalgamated under the name St. Brigid's for the Cavan Senior Football Championship. They reached the final, losing to the great seven-in-a-row Crosserlough. The success united the parish and in 1973 they came together under one name Laragh United.

It wasn't long before Laragh United delivered their first major success. In 1974 they won the Cavan Minor Football Championship and repeated the feat in 1976 and 1977. They won the Cavan Under-21 Football Championship in 1975 and 1976. This underage success was converted to senior success as they won their first Cavan Senior Football Championship in 1979 defeating Crosserlough. More Senior Football Championships followed and they won three-in-a-row between 1982 and 1984.

In recent years Laragh have faded from the senior scene. 10 years after their last Senior Football Championship they were victorious at intermediate level winning the Intermediate Football Championship. Soon after Laragh fell into the Junior Football Championship but in 2012 they beat Mountnugent and were back in the Intermediate Football Championship.[1]

The Kit

Laragh United's jersey is orange with white trim, white shorts with orange trim and orange socks with white trim.

Honours
gollark: This is reasonable, yes.
gollark: I will check this later. Although having retransmission of things being an extension is not ideal.
gollark: It does at most once delivery, not at least once, as far as I know.
gollark: Byzantine generals problem.
gollark: I'm pretty sure TCP cannot actually guarantee that.
