History

Football has been played in the parish of Cill na Martra in the Múscraí Gaeltacht since the foundation of the GAA in 1884 and before. The first recorded victory of the club occurred in 1887 in a 21 a side match versus the team of Ballinagree.
From then on until the re-establishment of the club in 1978, football had been played on an irregular basis. Since 1978 the club has gone from strength to strength achieving wins Under 12, 13,14,15,16, minor, Under 21, Junior B and Junior A grades.
The club has been playing at the intermediate grade in Cork since 2004.
