Kiskeam GAA is a Gaelic Athletic Association club in Kiskeam, County Cork, Ireland. The club is affiliated to the Duhallow Board and is exclusively concerned with the game of Gaelic football.#
Located in the village of Kiskeam, about halfway between Boherbue and Ballydesmond near the Cork–Kerry border, Kiskeam GAA Club was founded in November 1945. [1] The new club subsequently affiliated to the Duhallow Board as a novice team. Success was immediate, with Kiskeam winning the Duhallow Novice FC in 1947. [2]
A change of jersey colour from blue and yellow to an all black strip in 1964 was followed by a change in the club's fortunes. [3] Kiskeam were undefeated in 17 games and won every available divisional adult title that year, including a first Duhallow JAFC title. Kiskeam also won the Cork JFC title that year, following a 1–10 to 1–01 win over Crosshaven in the final. [4]
30 years went by before Kiskeam won their second Duhallow JAFC title in 1994. [5] Six such titles were won in the eight-year period that followed, with Kiskeam also winning a second Cork JAFC title in 2002. [6] The club was one of the 12 particpants in the inaugural Cork PIFC in 2006. A decade later, Kiskeam won the Cork PIFC and secured top tier status for the first time ever, folowing a 2–12 to 0–14 win over Fermoy. [7]
