Kilshannig is a Gaelic Athletic Association club based in the parish of Glantane in County Cork, Ireland.
The club fields Gaelic football and hurling teams in competitions organised by Cork county board, and by the Avondhu division.
In 1933, Brittas Rovers were beaten by Marshalstown in the North Cork Junior A Hurling Championship final.
In 1965, Kilshannig won their second North Cork Junior Football Championship, defeating Grange in a thrilling final.
In 1967, Kilshannig once again won the North Cork Junior Football Championship by upsetting all the odds, when they beat Glanworth in the final by eight points.
That year, Jerry Horgan won an All-Ireland Minor Football Championship medal with Cork.
Kilshannig's resounding victory was not on the cards as Mallow had been much more impressive in the previous round, easily defeating Nemo Rangers.
While Kilshannig led for the majority of the game, a late goal snatched victory for the Beara men.
After this painful defeat, 1987 proved to be a year for renewal and recharging and a first-round exit to Fermoy resulted.
The following year, 1988 brought Kilshannig back to the Cork Intermediate Football Championship final versus Ballincollig on 11 September.
Following some near misses in the senior championship, it was decided that the club would re-grade to intermediate and then junior level, in the early years of the 1990s.
The turn of the decade has seen considerable success for the underage teams of Kilshannig, which bodes well for the future of the club.
Our adults replicated this success, capturing the North Cork Junior A Football Championship for the first time in 18 years, beating Ballyclough in the final before being knocked out of the County by St. Finbarrs.
The U21s proceeded to defeat Valley Rovers in the first round of the county, followed by a famous win over St.Finbarrs at the quarter-final stage in Mallow.
This journey ultimately came to an end at the semi-final stage, when they were defeated by Nemo Rangers in Mallow on a scoreline of 1-08 2-13.
Furthur success came to the parish when John Quinn won the 2017 Scor na n'Og final in Gortroe for his rendition of 'The Green Fields of France' The 2019 Junior campaign started in Carrigoon against Ballyclough in May, winning 3-24 to 0-04.
[4] The end of the year saw Kilshannig beating St. James’ in the County Final in a score line of 0-22 to 0-11.
The Under-21's also coming up trumps in the division, beating Douglas in the quarter-final[10][11] to secure them a place in the county semi-final against St. Michael's, which the side fell short in the finish.
Continuing the clubs recent fashion of dual success, Jack Twomey was a member of the Cork Minor Hurling team.
In 2019, the club had 4 representatives on the Cork U20 team that won the All Ireland;[18] Éanna O’Hanlon,[19] Bill Curtin, Kieran Twomey and Colm O’Shea.
In 2020, the club was well represented again at county level again with Killian playing with the seniors and Éanna,[20][21] Bill, Colm and Kieran with the U20s.
