History

Located in the parish of Raheen just outside Abbeyleix, County Laois, Colt–Shanahoe GAA Club was founded following an amalgamation between the existing St Fintan's, Colt and Shanahoe clubs in 2020.[1] [2] [3] The new club enjoyed its first major success in 2023 when the Laois IHC title was secured after a defeat of Trumera in the final.[4]
