The Strokestown club was founded on 13 October 1881, three years before the
Gaelic Athletic Association itself. In 1889 the local
landlord, a J. Walpole, was expelled, and the club refounded as ''Strokestown
Brian Boru's
. Other clubs known as St Patrick's
and Erin Go Breá'' were also founded. They were later unified under the St Patrick's name, and won eight
county titles between 1912 and 1933. A
ladies' team was founded in 1976. They did not win the county title again until 1992. They won it for a tenth time in 2002, advancing that year to the final of the
Connacht Senior Club Football Championship where they were beaten by
Crossmolina Deel Rovers. The club crest was adopted in 2002 and depicts the "Bawn Gates" of
Strokestown Park. Strokestown also reached the final of the 2010
Connacht Intermediate Club Football Championship. Their traditional local rivals are
Elphin, although
Clann na nGael have also been rivals in recent years. ==Honours==
