Leinster Minor Football Championship
The Leinster Minor Football Championship is the premier under-17 "knockout" competition in gaelic football played in the province of Leinster. 2017 was the final year of the minor under 18 football championship as it were replaced by an under 17 championship following a vote at the GAA Congress on 26 February 2016.
The current Leinster champions are Longford. The Leinster minor football championship is known as the Fr. Larry Murray Trophy. The Cup is named after Fr. Larry Murray who was an underage GAA mentor in both Louth and Armagh, hence the Ulster Minor Football Championship is also named after Fr. Larry Murray.
History
The Leinster Minor Football Championship was first played in 1928, however progress stalled at the semi-final stage and the competition was never completed. The first completed Leinster MFC was in 1929 and Longford won the inaugural title beating Dublin in the final in Navan on a scoreline of 3–4 to 1–4 on 10 November 1929. Longford progressed to the All-Ireland final that year but were beaten by Clare in the All-Ireland final on 1 March 1930. With the exception of 1943 & 1944 the Leinster MFC has been completed every year since 1929.Roll of honour
