History

As neighbouring parishes, both Tynagh and Duniry often combined in an effort to field teams. In the early years of the 20th century, there were also two separate clubs in Tynagh and Duniry. In 1996, Tynagh and Abbey/Duniry joined forces at under-age level as a result of a decline in population. This paved the way for the amalgamation that was to take place at adult level in 2004.[ citation needed ]
