The club attracted significant[1] national attention in 2020 when a player competed in the final of the Waterford Intermediate Football Championship despite awaiting the result of a COVID-19 test, which returned a positive result.[2][3][4][5][6] This led to Dungarvan (that year's competition-winning club) being stripped of the title.[7][8][9]
