History
The first records of football being played in Lisbellaw seem to have commenced around the 1920s when they were known locally as "Rock Rovers". In 1960 Lisbellaw were accepted into the Fermanagh and Western League officially and eventually settled at Kerr's Fields' at Cloghcor Road, Lisbellaw. Throughout the late '60s and '70s Lisbellaw went from strength to strength, building up a great squad of young, gifted players who by now were under the management of Sammy McFrederick. This culminated in Lisbellaw's finest hour in May 1978 when Lisbellaw won the Irish Junior Cup. In the 1980s a major new phase in Lisbellaw's history was unfolding when the team moved to new grounds at Drumad, Lisbellaw although owned by Fermanagh District Council, the club bought the pitch in 1990 for £18,000 for a 99 year lease. In early 2000 the club progressed further when they developed a second pitch across the road from Drumad, named Taylor Park.
