Éanna Mac Cába, as acting Treasurer, reported to the meeting that the club’s finances were in a healthy state, showing a credit balance of £27 made up of subscriptions from Jackie Hughes, Brother O’Fearghail (Coláiste Mhuire), Ray Burke T.D. and Shay Corrigan.

In the late 1920s, there was a temporary break-up of Innisfails' junior football team in Balgriffin, and as a result it was decided to form a team in Portmarnock.

St. Marnocks had won the game by 1-1 to 0-1 but Innisfails were objecting to them being awarded the points because the list of players supplied by St. Marnocks contained only 14 names.

As early as 1935, St. Marnocks were unable to field a team against Innisfails, who were back playing again, at Brian Boru Park.
