In the Autumn of 1917, a number of young hurlers got together after a
mummers ball in Forrestalstown and decided that there should be a club formed. A team was entered into the 1918 championship; this club was to be known as Cloughbawn. While they already had a club in existence in the top end of the parish known as Killegney, it did not cater for the whole of the parish. In 2016, the club made it to the senior hurling final, junior hurling final and intermediate A football, losing out in all three. ==Honours==
