 In 1948 the Emmet's were reformed and affiliated, adopting the green and gold of the old team.Their first game was a challenge against neighbouring club Cullyhanna Kevin Barry's on Easter Sunday which ended in a draw, 3-02 to 2-05.In the face of economic depression and mass emigration the Emmet's managed to keep the club alive until 1956, when they were obliged to amalgamate with Cullyhanna.
