History

The club was formed in 1976 from the amalgamation of the Craobh Rua and Muire Naofa clubs. It was the first Sligo club to win the Connacht Senior Club Football Championship, winning three titles. As well as that, they are the only team to have won the county minor, U-21 and senior championship in Sligo in the same season, having done so in 1985 and 2015.
