Tullow Macra Na
Feirme was founded in 1946 by a group of farmers from Tullow and has expanded
over the decades into one of the largest clubs in the country. Tullow is also
the second oldest club in the country. The Macra Na Feirme club in Tullow is a
very active and every Friday night we play sports in the community school hall
and usually go for a social outing afterwards. This year saw Tullow Macra play
an active role in Carlow securing the 2013 rally.
