The idea of an Association was first discussed at a meeting between Mr. Brian Gilliland, Chairman, N.I.S.F.A., Jim McDowell, Hon. Secretary N.I.S.F.A and a few local teachers in October 1988.
An inaugural meeting took place on Thursday 19th January 1989, with Seamus McCusker acting as chairman. Eleven schools were represented and so the Association was born. The office bearers were as follows:
Chairman- Mr. Keith Smith (St. Mary’s School, Irvinestown).
Hon. Secretary -Mr. Seamus McCusker (Duke of Westminister High School).
Hon. Treasurer - Mr Raymond Bruce (Enniskillen High School).

A minute from that meeting shows that a decision was taken to look at the feasibility of staging a Schools’ International in Fermanagh in the future. In that first year of the Association the area produced two schoolboy internationals – Mark O’Donnell (St. Michael’s College) and Thomas Mohan ( St. Eugene’s Roslea). It was also memorable for the fact that the St. Michael’s College team in their first season in the Senior Cup steamrolled all before them in capturing the trophy, a magnificent achievement indeed. The following year the Association set up 5 competitions, 3 indoor 5-a-side competitions, 2 Primary School blitz competitions and a Primary League. As well as this the Association also took onboard two Secondary leagues that had been running for many years – the McMullan Shield and the McKee Cup. In 1989 the Association had 27 affiliated Primary and Post Primary Schools involved in these competitions. On 14th March 1991 the association hosted their first international, a Victory Shield match involving the Northern Ireland Under 15 side and their Welsh counterparts. Two years later the Association hosted the second international when two local lads, Alan McCutcheon and Rory Gallagher were on the squad that played Switzerland. Both these two games were staged at Ferney Park, Ballinamallard.

The Association has gone from strength to strength and now boast of 40 affiliated schools. The Association still organise the McKee Cup and McMullan Shield (two leagues for Junior and Senior Post Primary Schools) and 4 other Post Primary school competitions :
The Bruce Cup – 7-a-side for Pupils in Years 12,13 &14.
The Desmonds Cup – 7 –a-side for Girls in Years 8,9&10.
The Bawnacre Blitz – 7 –a-side for Boys in Years 8&9.
Year 8 Indoor 5-s-side.

For the Primary Schools there are 5 competitions organised throughout the year:
The Large Primary Blitz – 7-s-side (outdoor)
The Small Primary Blitz – 7-a-side (outdoor)
The Large Primary 5-a-side (indoor)
The Small Primary 5-a-side (indoor)
The Grey Turley Cup – 7-a-side (outdoor)

As well as these many schools are affiliated to the N.I.S.F.A and play in the various Provincial competitions.
