Mattock Rangers Gaelic Athletic Association is a Gaelic football, camogie, hurling and ladies' Gaelic football club based in Collon, County Louth, Republic of Ireland.[1][2][3][4]
History[]
The club was founded in 1952 and is named after the Mattock River, a tributary of the Boyne.[5]
They won a Louth Junior Football Championship county football title in 1961 and a Louth Intermediate Football Championship title in 1982. Mattock lost their first four Louth Senior Football Championship finals, in 1973, 1976, 1962 and 2001. Senior success finally came in 2002; in that year, Mattock Rangers reached the final of the Leinster Senior Club Football Championship, losing to Dunshaughlin.[6] They have won three more senior titles since then.
The hurlers have never been county champions, but reached the final of the Louth Senior Hurling Championship in 2011.[7]
