History
The Rostrevor Old Collegians' Football Club was established at a special meeting of the Christian Brothers Old Collegians' Football Club. The meeting was held at Rostrevor College on 23 February 1974 following a petition to call a special meeting to change the name of the club. Some of the signatories to the petition included Mick Murphy, Ian Altschwager, Frank Ali, David Clancey, Kim and Craig Peters. The motion to change the name was passed and the new Rostrevor Old Collegians' Football Club was formed.
The Committee at the time comprised of: T Kendall, J McAuliffe, M Abbot, M Lower, K Milne, D Sandery, D Farrugia, M Murphy, M Heffernan, P Coughlin and R Wasley.
