Allenwood Club
Allenwood GFC was founded in 1956 by Sean Tierney and Frank Harte, a former chairman of the Sligo county board and a local camp supervisor with Bord na Móna. Allenwood players formerly played with Ballyteague, Robertstown and the now dormant Allen club. The club played at McNally's field, Walshe's field, and Lullymore before moving to Heather Park (now Sean Tierney Park). Allenwood installed the first set of floodlights in Kildare in 1999. The clubhouse was initially situated in Allenwood South, close to the banks of the Grand Canal, before moving to its current location in 1970.

Famous quotes containing the word club:
“I think there ought to be a club in which preachers and journalists could come together and have the sentimentalism of the one matched with the cynicism of the other. That ought to bring them pretty close to the truth.”
—Reinhold Niebuhr (1892–1971)
