It was founded in 1929 forming the Senior Camogie league in South Antrim with Ardoyne, Gaedhil Uladh McKelvey's, O'Connell's and St Mary's Training college. They won their first Antrim championships back to back in 1937 and 1938.[1]

They won the Antrim Championship on ten occasions, in 1937, 1938 and 1940 and seven-in-a-row 1962-8.
