erin s own hurling and football club

The Erin's Own club is based in Glounthane parish, East Cork.
Erins Own G.A.A Club was founded in 1963 with the amalgamation of the two parish clubs, Knockraha and Little Island. The decision to form the new club was based on a desire to strengthen gaelic games in the parish of Glounthaune by forming one strong unit where two weaker ones previously existed. The game had been played in the Parish for well over a hundred years.
Teams were affiliated in Junior A, Junior B and Minor grades in hurling and football in the early years. A juvenile section was also formed and teams were fielded in Under 14 and 16 hurling and football.
The club grounds in Caherlag were purchased in 1978 and after much hard work and fundraising, the official opening took place on the 2nd of May, 1982.
