Gaelic Football

Athgarvan competed in the first junior C final in 1975, winning the competition in 1977.

Local man Joe Farrell (Kinneagh) who was a member of the 1956 team was instrumental in the reforming of the club in 1971 and dedicated himself to the club. Joe must hold the record for service as a County Board Delegate, a position he has filled for over 40 years for the Club. To quote a piece which was written for the Credit Union Newsletter back in 1996: "It has been said by those in the know that Joe has clocked up more mileage on his shoes working for his beloved Athgarvan than most people in their cars". Joe's dedication paid off and Athgarvan went from strength to strength.

In 2014 the u14 team reached a county final and we're defeated by Robertstown in Hawkfield

Cameron English was Athgarvans top scorer with over 5,000 points with the U7 women's team
