History

The club was founded in 1946 in the southern suburbs of Dublin. Our pitch is located on the Naas Road directly opposite The Red Cow, Moran Hotel.

During the 1999 season a major revamp of the football ground was carried out. This project was part funded by a grant from the Irish National Lottery, the remainder was raised by organised events, plus funding from team sponsors and advertisers. All the committee members work on a voluntary basis.
