Knockbride enjoyed a remarkable and dominant campaign to claim their first-ever All-Ireland Ladies Intermediate Club Football Championship title last weekend, securing decisive victories at every stage of the competition and making history for Cavan ladies football.
Their journey began in the Ulster LGFA Intermediate Club Championship quarter-final, where Knockbride defeated Gaeil Fhánada (Donegal) by 1-8 to 0-4 on October 26.
Momentum continued into the Ulster semi-final on November 2, as Knockbride produced an emphatic performance to overcome Lisnaskea Emmetts (Fermanagh) on a scoreline of 3-15 to 0-1.
On November 16, Knockbride crowned their Ulster campaign in style, defeating Brigid O’Neills in the 2025 AIB Ulster Ladies Intermediate Club Championship Final, winning 3-13 to 1-6 to secure the provincial title.
The Ulster champions then advanced to the All-Ireland series. In a tightly contested All-Ireland semi-final, Knockbride edged past Naomh Abán (Cork) with a narrow 0-4 to 0-3 victory on November 30, so booking their place in the national final.
The dream was completed at Croke Park on SAturday, December 13, when Knockbride delivered a commanding performance in the AIB All-Ireland Intermediate Ladies Club Football Championship Final. They defeated Caltra Cuans (Galway) by 3-10 to 0-4, sealing a historic triumph.
This victory marked Knockbride’s first-ever All-Ireland ladies’ title and saw them become the first Cavan club to win the All-Ireland Ladies Intermediate Club Championship, etching their names into the history books.
