Glen Rovers is a Cork-based Gaelic Athletic Association club based in Blackpool, Cork, Ireland.

The following year Dillon's lost to Lisgoold in the county junior hurling championship and controversy arose at this time because the 1915 minor medals had still not been presented.

[citation needed] In 1935 Glen Rovers made it back-to-back championship titles with a second consecutive county final win, this time over Carrigtwohill.

Once again the north side men had too much and Joe Lee led Cork to a 5–6 to 1–3 victory and a fifth consecutive county title.

[citation needed] At half-time Blackrock led by a point, however, at the final whistle the Glen were the victors by 5–4 to 2–5.

Staunch south side rivals and reigning back-to-back champions St. Finbarr's provided the opposition on that occasion, however, a score line of 5–7 to 3–3 gave Glen Rovers a ninth county title.

In 1945 the Glen made it two in-a-row as divisional side Carrigdhoun fell by 4–10 to 5–3 in what Christy Ring remembers as one of the best county finals ever played.

[8] Jack Lynch returned to the side for that game after a prolonged absence and played a key role at midfield.

This was the beginning of another great run of success for the club as they captured a second consecutive county title in 1949 with a thrilling 6–5 to 0–14 victory over divisional side Imokilly.

While it looked as if the Glen's march couldn't be stopped that's exactly what happened as the east Cork team won the day by 5–8 to 3–7.

Even though Jack Lynch had retired at the start of the decade the new star at the club, Christy Ring, was helping the Glen to more successes throughout the 1950s.

This victory kick-started another short period of domination for the Blackpool club as they successfully defended their title in 1959 with a six-point win over Blackrock.

Glen Rovers found it difficult to retain the title in 1963 and exited the championship before the final; however, the team was back in 1964 with great rivals St. Finbarr's providing the opposition.

When it looked as if the southsiders would also dominate the second half Glen captain Christy Ring swerved onto a pass from Joe Salmon and sent the sliothar into the net for a goal.

[9] The game was also significant as it allowed the Glen to represent Cork in the newly established Munster Senior Club Hurling Championship.

The Munster club final of 1964, which featured the Glen and Mount Sion of Waterford, wasn't played until Easter Sunday 1966.

Christy Ring's side won the final by 3–7 to 1–17 and many reporters considered it fitting that Glen Rovers, a club founded shortly after the 1916 Easter Rising and whose green, black and gold colours commemorate the event, should triumph on the fiftieth anniversary of that historic occasion.

Following a county championship quarter-final against UCC the legendary Christy Ring decided to hang up his hurley.

After a quarter of a century with the Glen, the team lined out in the county final without arguably the greatest player in the history of the game.

1972 saw Denis Coughlan guide the club to their first county title of the decade with a 3–15 to 1–10 victory over east Cork side Youghal.

The final at Croke Park was a tough affair, however, Tom Buckley and Red Crowley powered the Glen to a 2–18 to 2–8 victory.

Nine survivors from the 1973 All-Ireland victory powered the Glen to a 2–12 to 0–8 win over the Laois champions who were inspired by the Cuddy family.

The Glen qualified for the 2010 Cork Senior Hurling Championship final, a first since 1991, where they faced Sarsfields where thye lost out on a 1-17 to 0-18 scoreline.

The same sides met in the 2014 Cork Senior Hurling Championship final with the title again going to Sarsfields after a big 2-18 to 0-08 win.

The 2019 Cork Senior Hurling Championship seen the Glen qualify for the final for the fifth time in the decade where they faced Divisional side Imokilly.

2021 seen the Glen join an select group, along with Ballincollig 1941-43 and Cloyne 2004–06, to lose three finals in a row when they lot out to Midleton.

In 2023 after 97 years in the top grade the Glen lost out to Kanturk in a Relegation playoff sending them down to the Cork Senior A Hurling Championship for 2024.

These events left such an impression on the minds of the Irish public that it was decided to add a black band to the jersey to honour the recently deceased patriots.
