History

Hurling and Football were certainly played in Shinrone Parish long before the G.A.A. was founded in 1884. It was only natural that after the founding of the Association was formed Shinrone was one of the first seventy clubs affiliated to Central Council. Shinrone was represented at the first meeting of Offaly County Board by Jack Minchin and Martin Fennell.

The parish straddles two counties, Offaly and Tipperary and two provinces. In the early days the parish was represented by a single club, but in the 1930’s the Knockshegowna club was founded and this club caters for players from the Tipperary side of the parish to the present day. For a time two other clubs, Brosna and Corolanty flourished in the parish. Indeed the Brosna Club won the Offaly Junior Championship in 1945. Shinrone also played in the Offaly championship of 1889 so the club was there from the very beginning.

Seamus O Riain, former president of the G.A.A. in his book tells of a game between “The Honeymounts” a famous team from Dunkerrin Parish and a combined team from Shinrone and Ballingarry in 1889. The venue was the big park in Cooreclevin, Barna and a large crowd turned out because it was the talk of the countryside around for weeks beforehand. By all accounts the game was tough and fierce, but at the call of time, the Honeymounts were victorious by a single point
