Up to 1980s, the club was at the gratitude of the local farmers when they were allowed used various meadows for training as they did not own their own grounds at the time. This changed in 1980 when land was purchased from Pat Bray and Shallee became the club’s permanent location.

Dressing rooms were built and the grounds were officially opened in 1984. Additional rooms were added to the clubhouse from 2000 onwards. A stand was erected and following this, the playing field was levelled and landscaped to produce a level playing surface.  Prior to this, there was a major advantage playing “down the hill” at the time, hence where the book on our club history got the title ‘Playing with the Hill’.

Other developments have included the installation of an electronic scoreboard and a viewing railing on the stand side of the field.

In 2021, the club added a storage building which has allowed for the original storage area to be transformed into a players’ gym.

In 2025, the club opened the astro area with the hurling wall. The club continues to work on the development and maintenance of the facilities in Shallee.

Intercounty
The club, despite its small size, has a proud tradition of having players on both hurling and football divisional and inter county teams down through the years. Whilst not naming everyone on the list, we must mention the club’s two most famous players in Michael Ryan (B) and Shane McGrath. Both players successes over their careers are well documented. Everyone associated with the club were especially proud when All-Ireland senior medals and All Star awards were brought back to their small parish.

Juvenile
The juvenile club was set up as a single identity in the 1990s. Previously they were involved in amalgamations with various clubs as Ballinahinch did not have enough players to field teams on their own. 

Since then, there were periods where they joined with other clubs to be able to put 15 players out on the field. 

Ballinahinch are currently joined with Templederry from U13 to U21. 

The annual Fr Gallagher hurling tournament for the players in Ballinahinch primary school is one of the most anticipated competitions in the calendar year. Great excitement and skill for this one day event.
