History

The club was founded as Roslea First Fermanaghs in 1888. They were later known as Fág a Ballagh, then became Roslea Shamrocks in 1906, the name they have kept since (except for one season, 1944, when a merger with Aghdrumsee gave them the name Dresternan Shamrocks).[4]

Roslea Shamrocks have won twelve Fermanagh Senior Football Championships, the most recent in 2014. They reached the final of the Ulster Senior Club Football Championship in 1982.
