Castlemagner GAA
Encyclopedia
Castlemagner GAA is a Gaelic Athletic Association
club based in the village of Castlemagner in the North West of County Cork
, Ireland. The club plays in the Duhallow
division in both Gaelic Football
and Hurling
competitions. At under age level an amalgamation of Kilbrin
and Castlemagner as Croke Rovers
has been a great success, as either club on their own would not have been able to field an underage team. Ladies' Gaelic football
and Camogie
are also played within the club.
