Club history

In the 2004/2005 season, Jonny Martin became the club's second manager, taking over after Colm Tierney left the club. Although most of the club's players have been there since its foundation, players such as midfielder Matthew Cluxton Corley, winger Bill MacNamara and goalkeeper Ciarán Behan, striker Paudie Ryan and full-back Niall Nolan have all joined the club in the past 2 seasons, with players like Eoin Banahan leaving the club. Striker Darragh Hennibury used to be the club goalkeeper before Behan joined. In the 05/06 season the club finished 6th in the League and reached the semi-finals of the Cup.

The Senior squad currently plays in Division one have been promoted as league runners up in the 2005/06 season. Last year breathed much success for the Senior Squad as they won the Haroldville cup and runners up in the Smitten Cup.

The teams concentration this year is on survival as a depleted squad mainly due to injuries
