The St Joseph's club came into being in 1954. However, the Wolfhill club remained throughout the 50s and 60s and later became defunct in the 1970s due to the dwindling population through the fall of the coal mine industry which saw a lot of people leaving the area. The then already formed St Joseph's club was to be the final nail in Wolfhill coffin as success saw more and more adults and Juveniles switch blue and white for blue and yellow.
A soccer team now exists in the area with that club now carrying on the GAA teams former colours. The Laois County team took on Wolfhill's colours as Wolfhill rose to the top of Laois club football. Laois wear the blue and white of Wolfhill to this day
