:: Clann na nGael Crest

Clann na nGael represents the two villages of Drimoleague and Drinagh. This is represented in the club crest.

Drinagh is represented by Minanes bridge. While Drimoleague is represented by the castle in Castledonovan. Both are well known landmarks in the parish.

1888 is when it was first recorded that a club was active in the parish. The first indication that a committee was in operation came in February 1888. A letter appeared in the “Skibbereen Eagle” protesting to the said Paper’s report of a match between the O’Connell’s club (a Drimoleague -Drinagh combination) and the Geraldine Club (Leap). The letter was signed John J. McCarthy, Hon. Secretary.

The Crest is used on all club gear. The crest itself was designed by Donagh Hayes in Drinagh. Many thanks to Donagh for the time and effort he put in. It was much appreciated by all.
