===History=== |
|||
The oldest piece of evidence which shows the existence of [[hurling]] in Newtownshandrum comes in the form of a medal inscribed "Newtown Hurling Club" [[1896]]. An old ballad is the first record of a Newtownshandrum hurling game played in nearby Milford. In spite of having a population of little more than 800 people, Newtownshandrum has become one of the most successful hurling clubs in [[Cork GAA|Cork]] over the last decade, winning senior honours at Cork, Munster and All-Ireland levels. |

Whoever deleted the information containing the novice hurlers would want to lighten up a small bit. We are probably the biggest fanatics and proudest men. Lighten up. Dry arse! I thought the club was about its people, all equal in the eyes of its people. I never knew we are such a liability. Grow up, dry balls!
