Ireland's Craziest Rivalry - The Louth Derby 

Fantastic piece, should be very proud of it. First time I've seen the derby documented in this way and hopefully not the last

I had the pleasure and privilege of experiencing the Louth derby. I'm from the US and was in Dundalk the Summer of 2014 along with my brother and parents visiting family. I always try to go see a game at Oriel Park when I'm back visiting, however there was no game scheduled at Oriel Park during the two weeks I was there. The closest away fixture was in Drogheda. My uncle surprised myself and my brother and had bought tickets to the match. It was two days before we went back to America. Took the bus down with my uncle and my cousins. It was mad! I've never experienced a more fun and passionate sporting event. From start to stop the atmosphere was electrifying. Without going into too much detail the animosity between both sets of supporters is very real making the outcome of the fixture that much more important than your usual league match up. The match ended in a 1-1 draw. I gotta give it up to the Drogheda boys they sure do know how to get down and rowdy, they really love their club. I'll be a Dundalk supporter until I die. Hopefully this Summer when I go back to visit my relatives in Dundalk, I can catch another match. Go figure the way its lining up there's a good chance it will be the Louth Derby! I can't wait! C'mon The Town!!!

Just saw the Rovers documentary and then clicked on the channel to find this video too. Amazing stuff! Would love to see more of this type of content, especially if you do some NIFL clubs too!

Absolutely unreal video, a credit to yourself. What a great league to be apart of!!

Well done Ally, great video. It's really great to see such high-quality production covering Irish domestic Football. I truly believe that the future of Irish football relies on our domestic league. It really helps when people such as yourself give it the attention it deserves. I think the Louth Derby is the best in the country and despite Dundalk and Drogheda not being major European cities with Major European clubs the Louth Derby in terms of passion is up there as one of the best in Europe. Thank you Ally for helping show this. You've earned yourself a new subscriber. You should be proud of yourself your quality of work is excellent. I hope to see more quality content come out soon.

Great video guys, brilliant to see. here's to many more

Very well done, great production.

Loved this. Absolutely fantastic ❤

Would love to see one of these on pats vs rovers or maybe bohs vs shels, they dont get as much recognition as the dublin derby but are probably more fierce

Enjoyed this! Savage derby.

One of the best LOI documentaries I’ve seen🤩

Great piece! Well done.

Fantastic video, fair play mate 👏

Fantastic video Ally and team well done! Now lets bring on the next installment this weekend! #CmonTheTown

Great documentary on this! Very well done indeed,

Much bigger much better 🖤🤍🖤

6:56 utter dross ffs Dundalk is far more disadvantaged than Drogheda

Great documentary lads

Nice video . Halo from Montenegro.

Brilliant mate 👏🏻

Great one! Keep it up!

Enjoyed that,there still forever in our shadows after tonight's result lol 😂 super lillywhites 🏳🏴🏁🔥🔥🔥

Are Drogheda really punching above their weight by being in the Premier? The town is bigger than Dundalk (who've qualified for the Europa League twice in recent years), over twice the size of Sligo who're entering their 19th consecutive season in the top flight and about the same size as Waterford. Granted it's a much smaller town than Cork and Limerick, whose clubs are both in the first division (second tier) but I still wouldn't say that they're punching above their weight by being in the Premier Division.

4:02 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

Great film this!

Brilliant video . Your a talented film maker 🤔 keep it up mate

This is class Ally!

Nice Fila bomber Danny

You ask anyone from the rest of Ireland where they’re from and they will tell you what county they’re from first but if you ask anyone from Louth where they’re from 99%of the time they will say Dundalk or Drogheda, they’ll never say Louth, that’s how separated it is

Loved this. Would love to get involved

Good piece,but the biggest derby has to be Bohs/Rovers,they make the League 😊

Respect Drogheda fans a lot tbh, always showing up to support an absolutely nothing club that’s never done anything and never will. Bleak but respectable stuff, almost as bleak as Drogheda town itself.

Support yer local team!💜💙💜☪️

Wee County ???? Leitrim is the smallest County in Ireland. Leitrim 35,000 Louth 139,000. Source: 2022 Census Results. The Population difference between the two counties is huge .
