iatroim Fontenoys, a small rural club in the centre of County Down,
was founded in 1888 and believed to be the first established club in
the county.
In 1921 Liatroim Fontenoys
became the only Down club to win Senior County Championships in both
hurling and football – a feat which has never been equalled. Our
very own Liam Doyle led Down Minors to victory in the All Ireland
Football Championship and at present Liam is performing well in
Down’s senior team along with clubman Gerard MacAnulty.
Over the years, much emphasis was placed on juveniles coaching and training to prepare them for the replacements on senior teams and it is now that there is such strong believe in the underage teams with a minor hurling teams which has won everything there is to win and a group of young footballers who look destined for greatness.
