[edit] History
The club was founded in 1929. The club has never folded or amalgamated with another club. Having won the MacGillvary Senior League in 1959 and 1960, the club won the Camanachd Cup in 1964 against Inveraray in Fort William but then fell on hard times, falling as low as North Division Four. 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. The club then reached the Camanachd Cup Final in 2005 where they were defeated by Fort William Shinty Club at An Aird, Fort William in one of the closest and exciting finals for many years. In more recent history Kilmallie striker John Stewart has been a regular part of the Scotland International team that plays anually against Ireland. Most recently recording a win at Croke Park.
