|}} Fingallians is a Gaelic Athletic Association club in Swords, County Dublin, Ireland. Founded in 1884, Fingallians are one of the oldest clubs in Dublin and they are based at Lawless Memorial Park.

History

The club caters for Gaelic football, hurling, Ladies football and camogie, at all age groups. They currently play football in the Dublin Intermediate Football Championship, having been relegated from the senior grade in 2011. They have never won the Dublin Senior Football Championship but won the Intermediate Championship in 1957.

Fingallians have reached the Dublin Intermediate Football Championship final in the three seasons they have played at the grade since being relegated. They lost finals by four points to Cuala in 2012 and to Naomh Ólaf in 2013 and by three points to Castleknock in 2014.

Notable players

Among the noted Fingallians players from the past are Kieran Duff, Paul Flynn and Harry Keegan. Keegan won three All Stars with Roscommon in the 1970s and 1980s, while Duff played at right-half-forward in the Dublin team that won the 1983 All-Ireland Senior Football Championship final. Flynn became the most decorated individual player in the club's history by winning four successive All Stars, while also representing Ireland in the International Rules Series.
