Cappoquin

Cappoquin (Irish: Ceapach Choinn, meaning 'tillage-plot of Conn'),[2] also sometimes spelt Cappaquin, is a town in western County Waterford, Ireland.

[11] Ancient fortifications in the area include ringforts in the neighbouring Lyre East and Fadduaga townlands, and records of a former medieval castle within Cappoquin Demesne.

[16] In September 1849, a number of local members of the Young Ireland movement led an unsuccessful attack against the constabulary barracks in Cappoquin.

Affane went on to represent Waterford in the Munster Senior Club Football Championship, losing to Austin Stacks of Kerry.

Cappoquin Rowing Club is the town's oldest sporting and social organisation, and was founded in 1862 by James M. Moore and John Stanley.

[citation needed] Railway Athletic FC was founded in 1980 and is situated at Danes Field, Cappoquin.

This route only operates on Sundays and comprises a single journey in one direction (no return service on any day of the week).

[22] It was located on the now dismantled Waterford to Mallow line and served by the Cork to Rosslare boat train.
