History
St Michael's first match was against Crosshaven, with Jimmy Furlong as captain. The club's first success was in 1956 when St Michael's took their first
Senior County Title in 1976, 1977, and 1978, but competed in finals during these years against St Finbarr's and Nemo Rangers
, and won two Kelleher Shield Titles. Eventually the decision was made to drop down to Intermediate level.
1964 and 1965 saw the first honours to the younger members of the club with Minor titles in the county championships, and the best result at this level was in 1974 when the club won city and county league and championships.[citation needed]
In 1998, the club won the
Intermediate title (after their first in 1969), returning the club to the Senior ranks.[citation needed
]
St Michael's underage section began in the 1960s, led by Eamonn O'Donoghue with assistance from the chair of this age group, Bernard Hurley.[citation needed]
