History
The club are named after IRA member Séan Dolan (Irish: Seán Ó Dubhláin). He was active in the IRA during the Northern Campaign. A fluent Irish speaker and keen traditional musician, Dolan was interned and imprisoned on a number of occasions for his activities in support of a United Ireland.[1]
While holding the position of secretary of the Derry City Board, he was instrumental in the establishment of the Pearse's GAA club on the Waterside and played for them on numerous occasions. Seán Dolan died in the Waterside Hospital on 25 October 1941 at the age of 28.[2] Fr F O'Hagan said at his funeral "He was a man of ideals and principles and he was prepared to suffer for those ideals he held in high honour". Seán Dolan's GAC was set up the following year in his honour.
In 2000 the club became the first Junior club to be awarded All-Ireland Club of the Year. In 2002 Séan Dolans GAC also won Derry Club of the Year.[3]
