St. Colum's GAA

St. Colum's is a Gaelic Athletic Association junior A club in both Hurling and Football in the Carbery division, County Cork, Ireland.

History

The club was formed in 1970 to facilitate Gaelic Athletic Association for people living in the Kealkill area (eg-Cappabue, Carriganass, Borlin, Ardnagashel, Coomhola etc) instead of travelling to clubs further away like Bantry Blues, Glengariff , Dohenys, Ballingeary etc.

Roll of Honour

Successes in 2007 include the 2006 and 2007 Junior C SW football title,the under 21 C SW football title and Minor C titles in Hurling and a league title in football. In 2008, it is hoped that the minor successes of '07 will translate into further success at Junior Level.

Two of St.Colum's most famous victories were in the Junior B grade. In 1997, St.Colum's comfortably defeated Glengariff in Bantry to win the county title and move into Junior A. In 2003, St.Colum's defeated Lisgould in Cork in a high quality close match to lift the Cork Junior B Hurling Championship title.
