Players on the team included Paddy Larkin, Fr Éamonn Devlin (who played for Armagh) and Peter Donaghy (played as goalkeeper for Derry). After disappearing from the top, they were a Junior side for many years, reaching the 1958/59? Derry Junior Football Championship final, where they lost to Glen.
In 1963 and 1964 St Finbarrs won the Derry Hurling Championship.
The current pitch was opened by Cardinal Tomás Ó Fiaich in 1981.
