It is the northernmost GAA club in Ireland.^[1] This tends to cause logistical struggles during the league as many of their rivals are a great distance away.^[2] One example of the distance travelled would be the 320-kilometre round trip required to play an away fixture to Naomh Columba.^[3]

History

The club participated in the Donegal Senior Football Championship from 2004 onwards.^[4]

It was also club of the year in 2003.^{[citation needed]}

Declan Walsh, a member of the 2012 All-Ireland winning county team, played for them.^[5][6]

The club is also home to 2012's "Number One Real Supporter", according to a national survey.^[7][8]

Liam Bradley, previously manager of the Antrim county football team, was an unexpected managerial appointment by the club in January 2015.^[9] He left the same year.^[10]

The 2019 Donegal Senior Football Championship resulted in the club's descent to the intermediate ranks.

The club contested the 2023 Donegal Intermediate Football Championship final, losing to Na Dúnaibh.^[11]
