Rhode GAA

The first recorded football match played by Rhode was on 17 March 1889 against Portarlington GAA. The outcome was a defeat for Rhode. The first appearance for Rhode in an Offaly football final was in 1891, however the match was unofficial and the facts about the match are unclear. Rhode's first official finals appearance was on 21 July 1900. It was also Rhode's first Championship win with the match ending Rhode 0−7, Daingean 0−2.

Fahy's Cross handball Club is located a mile north of Rhode, and is the Gaelic handball team of Rhode. The club, though small, has been successful over the years, with numerous Irish titles being won by Paddy Hope, David Hope and Nolie Murphy.
