The decision was initially conceived late one night when a number of ex-players got talking about the good old times in one of the local watering holes.
What seemed like a good idea then, still seemed like a good idea the next morning and so the process was put in place.
While the alickadoos and blazers who re-started this great plan had hung up their boots a long time, they still had the considerable energy to kick start the process and breathe some life in the seemingly dead club.
Initially they used the facilities in the local school, but now they have graduated to some rented land under the shadows of Portumna Castle.
