We are equally hardcore in Cavan...

Belturbet Rory o Moore - He was only one of the lads that started the brutal 1641 rebellion
Killeshandra Leaguers - Generally named after the land league effort
Mullarhoran Dreadnoughts - Dreadnouht was some form of battleship. I think the Mullahs were going to invade the north but the Erne wasnt deep enough. So they just fought with anyone else they met
Ramor United - cos they want a united Ireland
Laragh United - as above
Kill - They will Kill anyone who stops a united Ireland
Kingscourt Stars - f**k knows what that's about

Drumlane Sons of O'Connell  - honouring the Liberator's vast horde of illegitimate children.

Any club named after a woman.... other than a saint?

I can't think of any. Strange, considering there's even one named after a British prime minister.

Who's the British pm

Call it a quiz.

I seem to remember reading somewhere that Castleblayney Faughs were once called Gladstonians!

Used that little known online tool called google and it states that there was a team called Gladstonians in Blayney but that they were actually a different club as such and folded in the late 19th century and the Faughs were founded in 1905

I was close enough, I think I read that on Blayney's website a long time ago and used it in a quiz. My father-in-law told once that in the early years of the GAA Cross refused to travel to play Keady because it was full of Fenians!
