History
St Joseph's Doora Barefield GAA club was established in 1887. The club won its first senior county title, as "Doora", in the 1898 Clare Senior Football Championship. During the 20th century, players from the club joined up with neighbours and local rivals Éire Óg to form the "Ennis Faughs". Both clubs were competing at lower levels at the time so it was seen as an opportunity for the players to compete for senior hurling and football titles. Between 1944–1955 and 1993–1995, the Ennis Faughs competed in eight county football finals, winning five senior county football titles in 1947, 1948, 1952, 1954 and 1994. The Ennis Faughs also won a senior county hurling title in 1890, an intermediate hurling title in 1945, an intermediate football title in 1946, and a junior football title in 1968. In 1998, St Joseph's Doora Barefield won the Clare Senior Hurling Championship and Munster Senior Club Hurling Championship, and went on to win the won the All-Ireland Senior Club Hurling Championship. In 2022, the club won the Clare Intermediate Hurling Championship, and their second team won the Clare Junior A Hurling Championship. ==Honours==
