Club History

​Since it's foundation Roscommon Gaels have been the driving force behind the development of Gaelic Games in the Roscommon Town area. Previous Names - St Comans, LP Haydens, Gaels Roscommon, The Blues, St Comans, Eoghan Ruadh.GAA in Roscommon Town dates back to 1889, with the present Roscommon Gaels GAA Club formed on May 1st 1959 when the then two town clubs namely Eoghan Ruadhs and St Comans amalgamated.
 
Under various names Senior Titles in both football and hurling have been captured on many occasions over the last century. In all 18 senior football titles and 23 senior hurling titles have been won.
 
One of the Club’s grounds Hyde Park is the premier ground in the County and has undergone huge development recently. The club's original home was St. Coman's Park ("The Lough") and due to the increasing popularity in Gaelic Games in the town the club moved to new facilities at Dr. Hyde Park in 1972. The club has recently purchased new grounds at Lisnamult, which are floodlit to over a 300-lux standard. The pitch opened for playing in May of 2010 with a junior league match between Roscommon Gaels V Clann Na Gael. Roscommon Gaels won on a score line of 2-15 to 0-7.
 
The GAA has a long and proud history in Roscommon Town. The first club, Roscommon St. Coman’s was founded in December 1889. In 1891 the club changed its name to L.P. Hayden’s and in 1897 the club adopted the name of The Roscommon Football Club. The late Michael Cassidy, in his book Roscommon Town G.A.A., writes, “ The 30th November, 1901, was an historic day in the annals of Roscommon town G.A.A. On that eventful night a meeting to inaugurate both a hurling and football club took place in Mr. George Geraghty’s house in Castle Street. The chair was taken by Mr. Patrick O’ Rourke, Ballybohan and the meeting decided to call the club, Roscommon Gaels Hurling, Football and Literary Club.” Fast forward to 1938 and the club became known as St. Coman’s, after previously bearing the name ‘The Blues’ in 1912, the year the club brought the first senior title to the town. On April 3rd, 1954 a new club, Eoghan Ruadhs was formed in the town. It was the first time in over forty years that Roscommon town could boast of two clubs. There were two clubs in the town until April 1959. On April 23rd in that year a joint meeting of the two clubs took place in the Royal Hotel and it was agreed to amalgamate the clubs under the name ‘Roscommon Gaels’. Gerry Dolan chaired the meeting and it was decided to call a general meeting on May 1st for the purpose of forming a new club. And so, Roscommon Gaels as we know it today was born.
