Background
History
Fintona Pearses was founded in 1917 and, despite some stop-starts in the 1920s, the club has been continuously active since 1932. At the time of founding, there was already a club in the village, Fintona Davitts, which had been in existence since 1907 and had won the Tyrone Senior Football Championship in 1914.

A Tyrone Intermediate Football Championship title was claimed in 1978…
