In 1972 two local teams Laragh and Stradone amalgamated under the name St Brigid's for the Cavan Senior Football Championship.

It wasn't long before Laragh United delivered their first major success.

In 1974 they won the Cavan Minor Football Championship and repeated the feat in 1976 and 1977.

In recent years Laragh United have faded from the senior scene.
