History
St Senans won the North Kerry Senior Football Championship for the first time in the club's history after defeating the reigning champions Ballydonughue in Con Brosnan Park, Moyvane on 9 December 2018. The "Saints" successfully thwarted Ballydonughue's attempt at winning three consecutive titles, a feat not achieved in over 40 years within the district. Not only did St Senans win the championship but they also won Division 1 of the North Kerry League beating Brosna after extra time in a keenly contested game. 2018 will undoubtedly be recorded as one of the rural club's finest in their eighty-four years of existence.
