History[]
Originally founded in 1935, the club fielded teams in Gaelic football, hurling and camogie for almost 40 years.
In the early 1970s the Catholic Church, which owned the grounds on which the club's playing pitch was situated, sold the land for the development of the M2 motorway. After a period of decline, the club folded shortly thereafter.
In 2019[2] the club was reestablished by young people in the area and surviving members of the original club. They played their first competitive game in almost 50 years against St Patrick's GAC, Lisburn in September 2020.[3]
