History

edit

Clonaslee GAA club catered for football and hurling until 1974, when St Manman's Gaelic Football Club was founded and catered exclusively for football. St Manman's reached the 1977 Laois Junior Football Championships final, losing to Portlaoise.[1]

Clonaslee Hurling Club and St Manman's Football Club amalgamated in 2001.

In 1999, Clonaslee–St Manman's joined with Rosenallis to form a joint senior hurling, minor and underage hurling and football teams. This club was called Tinnahinch after the old barony name Tinnahinch which included the parishes of Kilmanman, Reary and Rosenallis. Tinnahinch was in 3 Senior Hurling County Hurling finals, 2002, 2003, 2006. In 2009, it won Division 3 Féile na nGael (Under 14 Hurling) national hurling title.
