Dromtarriffe GAA is a Gaelic Athletic Association club based in the north-west of County Cork, Ireland. The club is affiliated to the Duhallow division of Cork GAA. Their hurling team currently competes in the Duhallow Junior A Hurling Championship and their football team currently competes in the Cork Intermediate A Football Championship.
The club has historically been concerned with the game of Gaelic football, but also fields teams in hurling competitions.[citation needed] Dromtarriffe (or Dromtarriff or Dromtariffe) is a small townland, as well as being the name of the parish in the same area. It is not a village, but the parish is centred on the very small village of Dromagh, which is around half a mile from the townland of Dromtarriffe.
Football[edit]
Dromtarriffe is one of the few clubs within Duhallow to have won the Cork Senior Football Championship. The club fields teams in the Duhallow Junior A Football Championship, and their successes have included a win in the Duhallow 2005 final against Ballydesmond. They then lost to Erin's Own in the 2005 Cork Junior Football Championship.[1] Their latest successes include winning the Junior A county championship in 2018, defeating Kilmacabea 2-9 to 2-8.[citation needed] Two late goals from Darren O'Connor turned the tide after being down five points.[2] Dromtarriffe also have a Ladies' Gaelic football team in the club.
Hurling[edit]
Dromtarriffe also fields hurling teams, and competes at Junior A Hurling level. Dromtarriffe's minor hurlers made the Cork Minor C Hurling Championship final in 2009 but were defeated by Cobh. In 2016, Dromtarriffe's hurlers won the Cork Junior B Interdivisional Championship after a replay against Sarsfields GAA in Páirc Uí Rinn. A week later, the clubs under 21 hurlers won their first ever Duhallow Under 21 'A' Hurling Championship against Robert Emmets. They won the Duhallow Junior A championship for the first time ever in 2018 defeating Newmarket. They followed up their win in 2018 with a win against Kilbrin by 11 points with the game finishing 0-30 to 2-11. [3] They had success again in 2021 beating Millstreet 2-18 to 1-14 and made it to the county final but lost to a Ballygiblin side by 2-18 to 0-18 points.[4][5][6]
