The club has developed rapidly in recent times, playing in the top tier of the Leinster senior league while the core beliefs remain the same.

The first 38 years were a particular struggle, with Paddy almost single-handedly keeping the show going with help at various times from men such as Frank and George Slevin, Willie Donohue, Joe Bergin and a handful of others.

In 1964 an Extra-Ordinary General Meeting was held in Nolan's hall and a new Committee was formed with Joe Morgan as chairman, John Reid as Secretary and Frank Clarke as Treasurer.

Whilst things picked up at this stage the main problem still remained, a settled home pitch to play their matches.

They appointed Tony Maher as Player/ Manager and in their 1st season they won the club's first trophy, the Leinster Counties Cup in Athy on 6 June 1972.

This decision has had a profound effect on the club ever since with a steady stream of talented players coming through from the schoolboy rank's to senior football.

The club moved to The Leinster Senior League in 1986 and bought 9.5 acres of land adjacent to their leased grounds at Fr Paul Park.
