Colmcilles Football started out with no facilities for the players and shared football pitches with other clubs in the area. From Kettles Lane to Mountgorry to Balheary. In the early days the players had to 'Tog Out' in a hut or shed and even in the open field. The club has always been associated with the 'Top Of The Town' as that is where the founders of the club came from.
