[edit]

St. Colmcille's GAA was founded in 1971 through an amalgamation of two east Meath GAA clubs, Stars of the Sea and Shallon.[1] The club moved to their current ground of Pairc Ui Rís in 1989, named in honour of Edmund Rice.[2]

The club has found some success at Junior and Intermediate level, notably winning the Meath Intermediate Championship and Leinster Intermediate Championship in 2016.[3]
