This year is the 50th anniversary of the formation of Crossabeg-Ballymurn GAA Club. We hope to mark this occasion in the coming months. We are currently trying to put together photographs and other memories from 1966 to 2016. If you have any old photos, other memorabilia or have any other details on the formation of the club, please contact a committee member.
