 These days, club members interested in football usually play with the neighbouring football clubs at The Heath and Ballyroan.The club colours are green with a gold sash.Although it is known that a GAA club existed in the area in the late 19th century and that the nearby Barrington estate was a patron of a hurling team in the 18th century, the present club was founded in 1915 by Lar Brady and Jim Bergin to promote hurling in the country area to the south of Portlaoise.
