On both occasions of representing Connacht at the All-Ireland semi-final stage, they encountered Wexford opposition.

Together with emerging twice from Connacht, the club also played in nine other finals. After the Senior Championship finished in 2007, they have played in the Connacht Intermediate Club Hurling Championship making the final 5 times but never won it. In 2015 they won the Roscommon senior hurling title for a record 8th time in a row, bringing them to 33 titles overall.
