The Phillipstown Mandevilles club was founded in June 1889 and named in honour of the recently deceased Fenian John Mandeville. The new club's first game was a friendly against Rathangan. Like most clubs in Offaly at this time, the bitter Parnellite split of 1890 ended the playing of games for the rest of the decade. The club was restarted in 1900, however, a rival club called Killeen Emmets was also established. Success eluded both clubs until 1908 when a united effort saw Phillipstown take the Offaly JFC title for the first time. [1]
