History

The club was founded in 1886 by Andrew Marren and John O’Dowd.

James Kearins led Bunninadden to a 1999 league title and then to the 2000 Sligo Senior Football Championship title, the club's first for more than eight decades, before being appointed manager of the Sligo county team in 2003.[1][2]

In 2000, Bunninadden win the Sligo Senior Football Championship and Owen B Hunt cup for the second time in 109 years beating Coolera/Strandhill with a last minute Padraig Doohan goal. In 2006, Bunninadden again reached the county final, defeating rivals Eastern Harps in the semi-final. The final was against fellow south Sligo club Curry, to whom they lost 1-15 to 2-9.

The club reached the intermediate final in 2009 against Geevagh, but lost 1-08 to 1-07. The following 2 campaigns 2010 and 2011 both ended in losses at the semi-final stage against Drumcliffe.

In 2012, with Gerry Perry now at the helm, the club defeated Tourlestrane to claim a first ever intermediate title for the club.

The club then faced St Aidans of Roscommon in the Connacht semi final in Kiltoom, winning 3-11 to 3-10. In the final, they lost to Charlestown 0-14 to 0-08.

In 2019 under the stewardship of John O'Flaherty, the club lost in the intermediate final against Geevagh after defeating Easkey in the semi-final.

In 2022, the club's seniors lost in the county final to Curry.[3]
