The club most recently achieved prominence in the all-Fort William Camanachd Cup Final in 2005.
They were given a pitch at Corpach by James Weir of Annat Farm, where games took place until the pulp mill opened and they relocated to Canal Parks in Caol.
The club slowly made progress from this low ebb by a concentration on youth policy and they climbed the leagues and are now a fixture in the Premier Division.
They were denied promotion again, but this time on the park, in 2015, when after a ten-week lay-off they faced Kingussie in a promotion-relegation play-off.
There's high hopes for the current Kilmallie squad and newly appointed manager John Stewart, to compete at the highest level in shinty once again.
