History

The club was founded in 1946 in the southern suburbs of Dublin. Its pitch is located on the Naas Road directly opposite The Red Cow, Moran Hotel.

During the 1999 season, a revamp of the football ground was carried out. This project was part funded by a grant from the Irish National Lottery, the remainder was raised by organised events, plus funding from team sponsors and advertisers. All the club's committee members work on a voluntary basis.

In 2020, the club's then manager and a former player were arrested and put on trial for drug trafficking.
