Our Story
Saint Colmcilles G.A.A. Football Club was founded in 1935 in Swords Co. Dublin. We started out with no facilities for the players and shared football pitches with other clubs in the area. From Kettles Lane to Mountgorry to Balheary. In the early days the players had to ‘Tog Out’ in a hut or shed and even in the open field. The club has always been associated with the ‘Top Of The Town’ as that is where the founders of the club came from.
The men who started the club all them years ago were, Jerry Daly and John ”The Brown” Dardis from Rathingle, and Mr. Thomas and Mr. Lowdnes from the Forest Road.
The current club president is Thomas ‘Danno’ Reilly and the chairman is Kevin Daly.
