From its founding in 1948 until its final county title in 1975, and before almalgamating with Éire Óg, Father Griffins achieved several success in Galway.

The following have been appointed – Chairman: John Daly Vice-Chairman: Stephen Lally Secretary: Sean Kindillon “Gracedieu” Treasurer: Jimmy Ward Committee: Austin Roache, JJ Walsh, Paddy Fitzmaurice, Tom Brady.

Born in Gurteen, Ballinasloe, he was ordained at Maynooth in 1917 and was transferred from Ennistymon, Co Clare to the parish of Rahoon in Galway City in June 1918.

Griffins announced that they would jointly enter all city and county competitions at all age levels including juvenile and adult football.

[citation needed] The Éire Óg club caters for players in the Headford Road, Castlelawn, Tirellan, Ballinfoyle, Menlo and Castlegar areas.

[citation needed] The amalgamation was brought about because of the declining demographics (including in children under the age of 14) in the city centre area.

[citation needed] Over time this would affect the ability of each club to field teams at a number of age levels.
