Football in the Swan Club has always been to the fore throughout the years.  We have achieved success at various grades - Minor, Intermediate, Junior etc.  This year however was a historic one as we participated at Senior level which was a tremendous achievement considering both hurling and football teams are picked from almost the same pool of players.

1999 was an incredible year when we won three titles, the u-21 'B' South title, the Junior 'B' South Championship and the Intermediate South and County Championships.  The latter was played in such bad conditions that players were unrecognizable as they were covered in so much mud!  Michael Walshe's last minute save won the day and helped elevate the Swans to Senior Ranks.  2001 sees two Swan players on the Tipperary Senior panel, Kieran Maguire and Benny Hahessy and everybody is hopeful of continued success with the big ball with honours being brought home this year.
