Hurling was the more popular sport in Doora-Barefield over Gaelic football, now it's 50-50 between the both of them.

Both clubs were competing at lower levels at the time so it was seen as an opportunity to play senior football.

The club's most recent successes were both in 2022, when they won the Clare Intermediate Hurling Championship, and their second team won the Clare Junior A Hurling Championship.

These include Jamesie O'Connor, Seánie McMahon and Ollie Baker.

All have won two All-Ireland Senior Championship medals, Seánie McMahon and Jamesie O'Connor won the GAA All Star Player Of The Year Award for 1995 and 1997 respectively.
