Is ‘Turfman’ the Louth county song?

-

DOES Louth have a county song? Mary Duff sings Beautiful Meath, Others belt out The Boys from the Co Armagh, Molly Malone, Limerick You’re My Lady, The Fields of Athenry, etc.

Last Saturday, as Padraig Rath waited to walk up the steps at Croke Park to pick up the Division 4 League trophy, the PA system blared out ‘ The Turfman from Ardee’. So, is the ‘ Turfman’ the Wee County anthem? It is certainly an obvious contender with ‘Red is the Rose’. Any more options out there?
