Dromtarriffe GAA

Dromtarriffe GAA is a Gaelic Athletic Association club based in the North West of County Cork, Ireland. The club is affiliated to the Duhallow division of Cork GAA and is almost exclusively concerned with the game of Gaelic football though interest in hurling has escalated in recent years. Dromtarriffe (or Dromtarriff or Dromtariffe, it can be spelt any of these ways) is a small townland (rural area), as well as being the name of the parish in the same area. It is not a village, but the parish is centred on the very small village of Dromagh, which is around half a mile from the townland of Dromtarriffe.

Football

Dromtarriffe have a strong footballing tradition and are one of the few clubs within Duhallow to have won the Cork Senior Football Championship. The club fields teams in the Duhallow Junior A Football Championship, and their most recent successes have included a win in the Duhallow 2005 final against Ballydesmond. They then lost to Erin's Own in the Cork Junior Football Championship.[1] Their latest success came when they won the Junior A county championship in 2018 defeating Kilmacabea 2-9 to 2-8. Two late goals from super sub Darren O' Connor turned the tide after being down five points. [2] Dromtarriffe also have a Ladies' Gaelic football team in the club.

Hurling

Dromtarriffe also fields hurling teams, and competes at Junior A Hurling level. Dromtarriffe's minor hurlers made the Cork Minor C Hurling Championship final in 2009 but were defeated by Cobh. In 2016, Dromtarriffe's hurlers won the Cork Junior B Interdivisional Championship after a replay against Sarsfields GAA in Páirc Uí Rinn. A week later, the clubs under 21 hurlers won their first ever Duhallow Under 21 'A' Hurling Championship against Robert Emmets. They won the Duhallow Junior A championship for the first time ever in 2018 defeating Newmarket. They followed up their win in 2018 with a win against Kilbrin by 11 points with the game finishing 0-30 to 2-11. [3] They had great success again in 2021 beating Millstreet 2-18 to 1-14 and made it to the county final but lost to a strong Ballygiblin side 2-18 to 0-18 points. [4] [5] [6]
