Gaels United FC
A Drumlish club with a clear local identity
Gaels United is the soccer club in Drumlish, County Longford. The maroon and sky-blue colours are easy to pick out on a busy weekend, and the crest ties the club to the landscape around its home village.
The club spans underage and adult football. Its younger sides play in the Longford and District Schoolboy Schoolgirl League, while the adult side has competed in the Combined Counties Saturday League. That gives local players a route from their early sessions into older youth and adult squads without leaving the club community.
Current news, registration notices and team updates are published through the official Gaels United page.
Player pathway
Teams from early age groups upwards
Recent league entries show Gaels United teams at several schoolboy ages, including separate maroon team names where the club has more than one squad in an age group. For parents, the player’s year of birth is the best starting point when contacting the registrar.
The club’s app brings fixtures, events and club notices into one place. Members can follow a favourite team and receive current information through the official Gaels United FC app.
Before a first training night
Send the player’s year of birth and ask for the correct squad, training time, pitch, footwear and registration steps.
Squad names and training slots can change between seasons. A quick message to the club will put a new player in touch with the right coach.
Football in the community
A club rooted in Drumlish
Gaels United sits within the sporting life of Drumlish and the wider north Longford area. Weekend football brings together players from the village and nearby communities, with local fixtures against familiar Longford league opponents forming much of the underage calendar.
The club’s public updates regularly recognise the work of coaches, parents and volunteers. That support keeps several age groups moving through training, home games and away trips across the county.
For families new to the area, the club is also a straightforward way into local life: one contact opens the door to the relevant age group, its coaches and the people who organise each team.
Matchday colours
Maroon, sky blue and navy
Gaels United’s home identity centres on maroon and sky blue, with striped match shirts and sky-blue shorts among the clubwear ranges. Navy is used strongly across training and leisure gear.
Parents ordering kit should confirm the player’s squad and required items before purchasing, since age groups may have different match or training needs. The Gaels United club shop at KCS carries current packs and leisurewear.
Visiting teams should arrive with a clear change strip and confirm colour arrangements with the home coach ahead of kick-off.
