The main pitch has been floodlit since 2006. In 2007 it hosted the first Duhallow Junior A Football Championship final to be played under lights. Ballydemond were victorious over Dromtarriffe on the occasion.

The club crest was designed in 2002 and features a horse's head in the centre, a traditional Irish fiddle (left upper corner), and an open book (right upper corner). A Blackwater bridge (with a leaping salmon) in the lower foreground symbolises the club's border location.

On 19 September 2015 Knocknagree bridged a 24 year gap to win their eleventh Duhallow Junior A Football Championship, beating Lyre GAA in a replay by a scoreline of 1-12 to 0-04.
