Holloway Gaels have been in existence since November 1993 when they were founded by two student nurses who missed playing gaelic back home and wanted to get back into the action over in London. So Ann Dunning (Westmeath) and Joan McEvoy (Laois) badgered friends and acquaintances who they knew played the game - and even some who didn't' - to join their new team and the great adventure began. As with all teams the first year was a struggle trying to keep a team together and learning the game. But the second and third seasons (1994 and 1995) saw things pick up on the pitch. Holloway reached the London Junior Championship under the guidance and expertise of their coaches Denis Dowling (Kildare) and Paddy Kelly (Roscommon) respectively.
