Clonakenny GAA, Gaelic Athletic Association club in Bournea parish, Ireland
Clonakenny GAA is a sports club situated on a field between Roscrea and Templemore in County Tipperary. The ground includes training facilities and a playing area where locals compete in hurling and football throughout the year.
The club was established in 1905 and initially competed in the North division before later moving to the Mid Division. This transition reflected how the organization grew into a regular part of the region's sporting competitions.
The club functions as a gathering place where the local community comes together through sports and social events that involve multiple generations. Members and their families use the ground to maintain connections and celebrate together throughout the year.
The grounds are located between two larger towns, making them accessible from the main road. It is helpful to check ahead to see when training sessions or matches are scheduled.
In 2015, the club achieved a rare double victory by winning both the Intermediate Hurling Championship and the Junior B Football Championship. This success was particularly notable given the small size of the community it serves.
