History
With a population of just under 1000 people Mourneabbey is one of the smallest parishes in Cloyne, yet Clyda Rovers is one of the most well known clubs in the county. For a long number of years Clyda played novice Gaelic football and hurling but the last 20 years has seen a change in the fortunes of the club. Today the club plays Premier Intermediate Football in County Cork and its hurlers Junior A in the division of Avondhu North Cork. The club has won many honours in its 119 year history.
The Incident of 1958
In 1958, Clyda Rovers were in the news for all the wrong reasons following there Junior B Champnship semi-final with Killshannig. The two great rivals were clashing for the second time in the season but the encounter was marred by the gay bashing of Kilshannig right half forward Michael Valderamo by hardcore Clyda fans.
Youth Development

Between the ages of 8 and 16, children are inducted into the Clyda Academy of GAA, where they learn the history of the game and the principles of the club.
