Hurling was the more popular sport in Doora-Barefield over Gaelic football, now it's 50-50 between the both of them. Their main playing fields are in Gurteen. They have three full-size hurling and football pitches. There is also changing and showering facilities there.

History

Players from the club joined up three times in the past with neighbours and local rivals Éire Óg to form the Ennis Faughs. Both clubs were competing at lower levels at the time so it was seen as an opportunity for the players to compete for senior hurling and football titles. Between 1944–1955 and 1993–1995, the Ennis Faughs competed in eight county football finals, winning five senior football titles in 1947, 1948, 1952, 1954 and 1994. The Ennis Faughs also won a senior hurling title in 1890, an intermediate hurling title in 1945, and an intermediate football title in 1946.

The club's most recent successes were both in 2022, when they won the Clare Intermediate Hurling Championship, and their second team won the Clare Junior A Hurling Championship.
