Youngest ever senior debut for the club was made by starlet prospect Rory (Rozza) O’Donnell at the age of 16 in 2019. Asked about the honour, a delighted Rory said : "It's a real privilege to play for this great club. Hopefully it will be the first of many appearances with the Seniors and I can go on to emulate Club legend Gary "The Mighty" Quinn in having a long and distinguished career." Unfortunately, this was to be Rory's final contribution to the Athgarvan Seniors, as he was soon dropped due to his extreme lack of footballing ability.
