Ballygiblin GAA is a Gaelic Athletic Association club located outside Mitchelstown, County Cork, Ireland. The club, a sister club of Mitchelstown, is solely concerned with the game of hurling.
Located on the Cork-Limerick-Tipperary border, Ballygiblin GAA Club was founded in 1955. [1] The club initially didn't even have a set of jerseys, however, they procured a set from the recently disbanded Mitchelstown RFC. The club enjoyed its first success in 1963 when the novice hurlers won the divisional title. This was later followed by a North Cork JBHC title in 1979. A series of development and fundraising events resulted in the club opening their new grounds in 1984. [2]
The turn of the century brought Ballygiblin's greatest era of success, with the North Cork JAHC being claimed for the first time after a defeat of Kilworth in 2004. The club secured further North Cork titles in 2018 and 2021. [3] The latter victory was subsequently followed by a Munster Club JHC title before Ballygiblin faced a one-point defeat by Mooncoin in the All-Ireland final. [4]
Ballygiblin became the inaugural winners of the Cork PJHC in 2022. [5] After becoming the first team to retain the Munster Club JHC title, Ballygiblin claimed the All-Ireland Club JHC title after a 1-16 to 0-11 defeat of Easkey. [6] [7]
