Ramor United are a Gaelic football club from Virginia, County Cavan in Ireland. They are affiliated to Cavan GAA. History The Story of Ramor United began in 1971, when the 3 clubs in the parish – Maghera McFinns, Lurgan GFC and Virginia Blues – amalgamated for the Senior Championship only. This coming-together cumulated in the Senior Championship coming to the parish of Lurgan as a whole for the first time in 1974. Following from this, a new sense of parish effort evolved.

The name "Ramor United" was chosen as it represents Lough Ramor and its embodiment through the Parish, just like Ramor GFC would represent the parish as one entity. The name is unusual, with "United" being more associat ...
