History

[edit | edit source]

Located in Rathoe, about five miles from Tullow town, Fighting Cocks GAA Club was founded in 1928.[1][2] The club spent its early years operating in the junior grade, before winning the Carlow JFC title in 1932. Just a decade after being founded, Fighting Cocks claimed its sole Carlow SFC title in 1938.[3] The next few decades saw the club return to the junior ranks once again. A further five Carlow JFC titles were won at various times between 1943 and 1999.[4] Fighting Cocks won its first Carlow IFC title in 2012.[5] The club's most recent success was a seventh Carlow JFC title in 2025.[6]
