Munster Intermediate Championship

Miltown face the Kerry champions Currow in Miltown at 2pm on Sunday.

So here is a brief history of our opponents.

Currow GAA Club was founded in 1911 when Currow Wolfe Tones and Currans who were two existing teams in the parish of Killentierna joined together. This amalgamation was the origin of how Currow got its team colours of black & amber - one team wore black and the other team wore amber.

Currow were one of the founding clubs when the East Kerry Board was formed in 1925 and Currow participated in East Kerry and the Castleisland District League at various times over the next number of years. The club continued to grow in strength and in 1928 Currow participated in the Senior County championship where they lost to a more experienced Strand Road team.

In 1982 the club won its first county title defeating near neighbours Scartaglen to win the Novice Championship & in 1983 the club opened its redeveloped pitch and new dressing rooms. In 1988 the club won its second county title, the Junior Championship defeating Rathmore and the club contested its first Intermediate Championship final in 1997 but lost out to Kilcummin. The club won its first & only East Kerry Championship O’Donoghue Cup in 1998 defeating Glenflesk, avenging the loss of the previous year’s final at the hands of the same opposition. Currow also lost the 1992 O’Donoghue Cup final by the narrowest of margins to Dr. Crokes in a classic.

2007 saw the launch of the official club crest with the design representing the three bridges that span the Brown Flesk River as it flows through the three villages of the parish - Currow, Currans and Kilsarcon. The hurling sticks on the crest represent the various camogie and hurling teams that existed at various stages in the clubs history.

The club's centenary year of 2011 saw the official opening of new dressing rooms, sand-based pitch, new stand & electronic scoreboard, marvellous facilities which are a great credit to the club & the people of the parish.

The senior team currently lie in second place in Div. 2 of the county league & a win in the final round would see a return to the top flight.
