Place & story

A parish merger

Saint Catherine's club history locates an early merger meeting at Griffin's garage in Ballynoe. Wartime fundraising helped bring Kilcronat and Rathdrum together. In 1946 their combined organisation united with Conna under curate Father O'Donnell to form Saint Catherine's. [2]

The first title

The new club won the East Cork Junior B hurling championship in 1948, beating Killeagh in the final at Castlemartyr. Its players celebrated with a victory dance at Dungourney Hall. [2]
