Mohill GAA is a Gaelic Athletic Association gaelic football Club in Mohill, County Leitrim, Ireland.
The parish of Mohill currently has two GAA Football Clubs, Mohill who play in Division 1 and the Senior Championship and Eslin who play in Division 3 and the Intermediate Championship. The Mohill Club also fields teams in Divisions 3 and Intermediate Championship and Division 4 and Junior B Championship. Both Clubs have won Senior Titles in the past and in fact Mohill Faugh-an-Bealaghs won the first ever Leitrim Senior Championship in 1890, defeating Ballinamore in the final. Ironically Eslin won their first title the following year by defeating Mohill in the Final. Eslin won the last of their 3 Titles in 1917 but have won several Junior Championships in the meantime. Mohill have won their most recent Senior titles in 2006 and 2015, both being won in injury time with a point in 2006 vs St Marys Kiltoghert and a goal in the 2015 Final Replay, both coming from Ronan Kennedy, nine years apart.
2015 marked the 126th Anniversary of Mohill GAA Club. It turned out to be the most successful year ever in the Club's History winning three doubles, something that was never achieved in the County and it is probable that it has never been achieved in the Country.
In April our Minors made history by becoming the first ever team to win five in a row Minor Leagues. They beat Ballinamore Sean O'Heslins by 2 points in the League Final on a scoreline of 3-11 to 2-12.
In July, our Juniors won the Division 3 League for the first time since 1978 beating Ballinaglera by a point in a tight affair in Ballinamore. 1-8 to 0-10 was the final score with Captain Padraig Tighe getting the equaliser and the winner late on the snatch victory.
Then came the business end of the Championship and it was clear from early on in the Senior, Junior and Minor Championships that we would be competing for the big prize later on in the year. Our Seniors strolled through their group beating Allen Gaels, Drumreilly and Kiltubrid on the way and racking up an unbelievable 13-42 in three games. The Juniors didn't have it as easy edging out Dromahair and beating Carrigallen on the way to the Quarter Finals. At the Quarter Final stage of the Senior and Junior Championships, our Minors were half way through their Championship having lost twice to the favourites for the title Fenagh/Gortletteragh. Two wins out of four and they were still in the balance for a place in the Semi Finals.
