Club History
Even before the founding of the G.A.A. in 1884 Hurling and Football were an established pastime in Templenoe. Hurling was by far the stronger of the two codes until the 1920's. However, since then football has taken pride of place and hurling is no longer played in the club.
The club was founded in 1933 but did not affiliate to the G.A.A. until 1938. The first meeting was held in the Merino House with Dan O' Reilly and P.D.M. O' Sullivan elected chairman and secretary respectively. Joe O' Neill was made treasurer, a position he held for the next 33 years.

The GAA was always a very popular pastime in Blackwater but it wasn't until 1938 that the club was formed. Emigration was at a low ebb prior to World War II and had practically stagnated during the war years which created a rapid growth in the young male population. Football became one of the main pastimes and the first playing field acquired was known as " The Spur", next to O'Neill's shop. A nearby field belonging to Phil Coffey was also used for a time.
