History

The club was formed in 1923. Players were primarily drawn from among the business community in the town. Many were also involved in the Past Pupils Union of St. Flannan's College.Шаблон:Fact At the beginning of The Emergency (WWII), the club temporarily disbanded and did not reform until 1952. The Gaelic Athletic Association ban on their members playing any 'garrison games' discouraged people playing rugby if they also played hurling or Gaelic football. This affected the player base available to the club. An underage section was formed in 1973.

In 1979 the club finally built a clubhouse after purchasing land from the Showgrounds. The clubhouse is still in place today, having had a gym added subsequently.Шаблон:Fact
