The development of Fr. Tierney Park culminated with the opening in 1954, and in the eighties further progress was made with the erection of the first ever stand in the county. Other major developments in recent years, has been the purchasing of Munday's field (where the club played its first games) and the building of modern dressing rooms and a players tunnel onto the main pitch.
Recently a further development has taken place with the building of a press box and dressing rooms, which will be ready for use in early spring.
The club was also the first in the county to have a club shop from which all club gear, etc. can be purchased, along with other gaelic games literature, flags county jerseys, etc.
Over the years numerous players from the club have represented the county at all levels while at administration level, the club also has a very high level of involvement.
