The name reflects the two villages from which it has always drawn its players and support, Colintraive and Glendaruel.

A sign of the changed demographics of the Scottish Highlands is that Col-Glen could raise three full teams and have nine spare reserves in 1938 but now has only one adult side.

The club restarted in September 2002 with a primary team and within three years it was able to reform an adults team to compete in the Bullough Cup (which it had won in 1983) and then re-entered League Shinty with the assistance of ex-players who returned to the club after having been part of Kyles, Strachur and Bute.

[citation needed] 16 July 2022, Col-Glen were victorious in the inaugural final of the Single Team Club Competition defeating Glengarry 2–1.

As well as their cup victory in 2022, Col-Glen won the Mowi South 1 Division title, lifting the trophy on October 15, 2022, after a 10–0 win against Ballachulish.
