Ballygarvan Camogie Club was founded for a brief period in the 1960’s and was re-established in 1987. The founding members were Chairperson, Nora Brady (RIP), Ollie Hallahan, Eily Kidney, Gaye Foster, Sadie Mackey, with a membership of 30 girls. The club has grown from strength to strength and currently has in excess of 150 members. In 1995, the club won the county under 12A, under 14B and under 16C competitions.

Success at underage level led to a win at Junior B level two years later. The club won the Junior A Championship in 2000 and six years later, graduated to the top level of competition in Cork having won the Senior B competition. Many players in the club have played on county teams at various levels. We currently have players on the Cork under-14, under-16 and minor and senior teams. One of the club’s most successful inter-county players is Emmer Dillon, who has won four All-Ireland Senior Championship medals.
