Knocknagree GAA


Knocknagree GAA is a Gaelic Athletic Association club based in the village of Knocknagree in the North West of County Cork and is situated approximately one mile from the border with Kerry. Knocknagree is officially in the parish of Rathmore with the majority of this parish in Kerry putting Knocknagree in front line when it comes to Cork-Kerry rivalry.
The club plays Gaelic football in the Intermediate grade in Cork after winning the 2017 Cork County Junior Championship for the 3rd time defeating Erin's Own in the final.
The main pitch has been floodlit since 2006. In 2007 it hosted the first Duhallow Junior A Football Championship final to be played under lights. Ballydemond were victorious over Dromtarriffe on the occasion.
The club crest was designed in 2002 and features a horse's head superimposed against a hill. A traditional Irish fiddle is in the left upper corner and an open book in the right upper corner. A Blackwater bridge is featured in the lower foreground to symbolise the club's border location. Significantly the leaping salmon faces the Cork side of the border.
On 19 September 2015 Knocknagree bridged a 24 year gap to win their eleventh Duhallow Junior A Football Championship, beating Lyre in a replay by a scoreline of 1-12 to 0-04.
