FOOTBALL INDEX

Carlow County - Ireland Genealogical Projects (IGP TM)


Palatine G.F.C.
Co Carlow


Palatine club was founded in 1909 with a notice in the "Nationalist" of Ist May 1909 announcing a practice session on the Sunday. The Palatine Minors played a game against Graigue Minors on the 23rd May 1909 and the Juniors played against Borris on 25th July 1909. So the foundations were laid for a hundred years of football and we now embark on the second hundred years.
