History
Football in Bandon began at the turn of the 20th century. However, it was around 1950 that a team was entered into a league. They were entered into the AUL Division 3. The club known as Bandon AFC lasted from 1950 to 1955. Between 1955 and 1970, soccer was non-existent in the town.[4]
In 1970, there was a resurrection of Bandon AFC. This was organized by three men, Con Waugh, Donal Crowley and Tom Griffin. They organised a public meeting and a committee was put together which decided to enter a team in the Cork AUL and the club would again be known as Bandon AFC.[4]
