Place & story
A century of hurling
Crookedwood’s hurling club affiliated to Westmeath GAA in 1906 and won a junior championship the following year. It reached the senior final in 1913, losing to Raharney. The club’s own history records periods of interruption and revival, including a reorganisation in 1922. It also played under the names Clann Lir and Taghmon Rovers before returning to Crookedwood. [2]
Revival and championships
After another break beginning in 1973, the club reformed in 1981 with teams across adult and youth grades. A junior championship victory over Father Dalton’s followed in 1986. In 2005, Crookedwood secured its first intermediate championship, defeating Cullion. These successive revivals make the club’s history a record of repeated local efforts to sustain the game. [2]
