Overview

History

In the Autumn of 1917, a number of young hurlers got together after a mummers ball in Forrestalstown and decided that there should be a club formed and entered a team in the 1918 championship; this club was to be known as Cloughbawn. While they already had a club in existence in the top end of the parish known as Killegney, it did not cater for the whole of the parish.
