History
editGaelic games had been played in the parish of Churchtown-Liscarroll since the early days of the Gaelic Athletic Association. Liscarroll GAA Club was established in 1885, while the Churchtown GAA Club was formed five years later in 1890.[2] Both clubs spent the majority of their existence operating in the various North Cork junior grades. An amalgamation at juvenile and underage levels was followed by a similar alliance at adult level in 2017 with the creation of the new Liscarroll/Churchtown Gaels club.[3]
