Founded in 1947, the Men's Gaelic club is a college institution. First and Second teams are catered for as well as fresher's football. The senior team won the Sigerson Cup in 2017 and reached the final again in 2019 which is the top level of Higher Education football. They also compete in the Ryan Cup. The formation of the second team means that the Men's Gaelic Club has a policy of ensuring that everyone who wants a game gets to play a game. Training is likely to be held on Monday and Wednesday evenings but for all information keep an eye out for dates and times on the sports notice boards, located in the Students Union, contact a member of the Gaelic Football Club or get in touch with Caolan in the SU.
