The 1950s saw the emergence of an underage phenomenon, when an unprecedented three School Shield Counties came to Cloughduv. Three Mid Cork Minor titles in the 1960s was the genesis of the brilliant teams of the 1970s and 1980s. During this period it can be claimed that Cloughduv were the Intermediate Kingpins of Cork Hurling.

There are two Gaelic football clubs in the parish (Kilmurry parish) - Canovee and Kilmurry - and there is often an overlap of players between the different clubs.

History

[edit]

Hurling in the area pre-dates the founding of the Gaelic Athletic Association in Thurles in 1884; when the Cork County Board was inaugurated in 1886, 21 clubs attended including Ryecourt GAA. Shortly thereafter the name was changed to Cloch Dubh.

Success was not long in arriving, culminating in 1912 in a victory in the County Senior Beamish Shield.[citation needed]

In the late 1920s, Cloughduv joined up with BrideValley to form Éire Óg and this led to victory in the Cork Senior Hurling Championship final of 1928.

The Éire Óg combination had a short shelflife and Cloughduv reverted to their solo career.[citation needed] In 1940, Cloughduv won a County Junior Hurling title and the following year won the County Intermediate title.[citation needed]

The 1950s saw an unprecedented three School Shield Counties won by Cloughduv. Three Mid Cork Minor titles followed in the 1960s.[citation needed]

In 1970, the club won the Cork Junior Hurling Championship title, beating Courcey Rovers in the Final. In 1973, the Cork Intermediate Hurling Championship title was Cloughduvs when they had victory over Blackrock in the final. The next big success came in 1983 with another Intermediate County. Here Ballinhassig were the vanquished team. Another Intermediate County followed in 1986 with victory over Erins Own.

The club regraded to Junior status at the end of 2001 and won Junior Mid Cork titles in 2002, 2005 and 2009.

Having originally started out in Ryecourt, the club in 1967 opened a new playing field to the Western side of the village, Fr O’Driscoll Park. This was home to the club until 2006, when Cloughduv returned to Ryecourt to a development which has three full size playing pitches (2 with floodlight).[citation needed]
