The GAA club: - A background
Touraneena is a small
country parish situated approximately 12 miles from Dungarvan and 16 miles
from Clonmel. Geographically, the village is located between the Comeragh
and the Knockmealdown
Mountains. The
majority of people in the area come from a farming background with others
finding place of employment in the both Dungarvan and Clonmel.
From the early forties to the late sixties there was no consistent GAA club
in the Touraneena area. Before the barn years the Sliabh gCua football club
was formed in 1927 and existed for nine years with an odd year excluded.
History was created in 1936 when the club captured their first Junior
county football title defeating Fenor in a replay.
Even though there was no club for 34 years, players within the parish still
played an active part in county competitions assisting other neighbouring
clubs such as Fourmilewater, Colligan, The Nire and Affane. It was against
this background that the club Sliabh gCua - St. Mary's was refounded in
1970.
