The club play in the Purple and Yellow colours.
Our club crest features the club colours together with symbols of two hurls together with a sliotar and two footballs representing the clubs participation in both football and hurling competitions.
In addition the year 1885 is also shown representing the year the club was founded.
The club crest is inspired from the monument dedicated to Ballybricken man John O’Grady .
John O’Grady was a champion weight thrower, Standing over 6 foot tall and weighing more than 18 stone, John O’Grady was a world record breaking weight thrower. He represented Ireland in the 1924 Summer Olympics and was the country’s flag bearer. He participated in the shot put, which he threw a distance of 12.75 metres which placed him 17th in the Olympics.
The inscription on the monument reads:
Erected by his admirers in proud memory of John O Grady World Champion Weight Thrower born at Ballybricken, Co. Limerick 17th Feb 1892. Died at Limerick 26th Nov 1934. He worthily upheld Ireland’s Athletic prestige and endeared himself to all by his loveable character and simple bearing.
