History

There were formerly three clubs in the parish: Kilanerin, Ballyfad and Pallas Parnells. In 1953 they amalgamated with Tara Rocks to form Kilanerin–Ballyfad. The mountain on the club crest is nearby Annagh Hill.^[3]

Kilanerin took their first Wexford Senior Football Championship in 1974. Their grounds in the Borleagh townland were acquired after that, and were further developed in 1998.^[4]

Kilanerin won six county football titles in the years 1993–2008. Their best season was 1996, when they reached the semi-finals of the Leinster Senior Club Football Championship, losing to St. Sylvesters.^[5]

Since then, they have been county finalists twice, in 2010 and 2018.
