History
editBefore the formation of St Dominic's, the area was home to as many as four clubs at a time. These included St Patrick's, representing Knockcroghery. St Patrick's was the club of many of the Roscommon Senior footballers who won the 1943 and 1944 All-Ireland's, including Jimmy Murray who was the teams captain. During this period, the club won 6 Roscommon Senior Football Championship's, in 1942, 1943, 1945, 1946, 1948 and 1949.[1]
The current club was founded in 1973 through the amalgamation of St Patrick's from Knockcroghery and St Josephs from St Johns/Rahara. Today the club compete in both football and hurling at a Senior level and camogie and ladies football.[2]
In 2022, St Dominic's returned to the Roscommon Senior Football Championship by defeating Éire Óg 2-08 to 2-06 in the final of the Roscommon Intermediate Football Championship.[3] The club were defeated by Galway club Dunmore MacHales, 1-16 to 1-13, in the final of the 2022 Connacht Intermediate Club Football Championship.[4]
