Two members of that winning side Connor Hannon and Tom Mannix won All-Ireland Minor Football Championship medals with Cork GAA in 1981.

In the early 80s Shanballymore fielded a very strong Junior football outfit and were unlucky to lose to Kilshannig three years on the trot by very narrow margins.

In 2011 Shanballymore won the Junior B Football championship for the first time in 22 years defeating Grange on a scoreline of 1-03 to 0-10.

The 1948 and 1959 County Intermediate finals were to see a reversal of fortunes as they went under to East Cork Sides, Midleton and Carrigtwohill.

In 1979 the Under-16 hurlers won divisional and county honours heralding a revival – to be followed in 1981 with the Minor crown – but losing the Under-21 finals to Ballyhea in 1983 and 1984.
