The tiny parish of Mullinalaghta are waking up as Leinster Senior Club Football Champions.
The north east Longford side beat Kilmacud Crokes to claim their county’s first ever Provincial title at O’Connor Park yesterday.
Gary Rogers scored a 59th minute penalty to hand the midland minnows a 1-08 to 1-06 victory over the two time All Ireland winners.
Manager Mickey Graham says his players were determined to make the most of the opportunity.
A moment of HISTORY for @OfficialLDGAA and @TheLaurelsM
