Castlemartyr GAA is a Gaelic Athletic Association club based in the village of Castlemartyr, Cork, Republic of Ireland. The club fields teams in both Gaelic football and hurling. It is a member of the Imokilly division of Cork GAA. History Castlemartyr hurling club was founded in 1924, though the area had been noted for its hurlers and footballers before that year, and a football team existed in Castlemartyr at the end of the 19th century. The early days of the club were not marked by any notable triumph, but by 1935 the club reached the East Cork final, and recorded the first of seven divisional successes. They went on to the county final afterwards, and though they failed to capture the crown after four encounters with Mayfield, two of which were abandoned. Christy O'Brien, who had played with the Cork minors four years earlier, was one of the stars of the 1935 team. The late Dave O'Brien captained the side and the other players on the selection were Dermot Cusack, Willie O'Brien, Robin Forrest, Jerry Wade, Jack Whelan, Willie O'Reilly, Donnachadh O'Keeffe, Michael Dineen, Joe O'Brien, Jack Harte, Matty Harte, Liam Aherne, Willie John Hennessy, Joe Morgan, Jackie Collins, Eddie Hayes, Jackie Kelleher and Mossie Moloney. School Title The following year, 1936, Castlemartyr won the East Cork School Shield. In 1936 also, Dermot Cusack and Dave O'Brien were selected for the Cork junior team, while Maurice Penderville gained his place on the county minor side and won a Munster medal. Another player from this period, Ted Sullivan, had a lengthy career on the club and intercounty scene. He played with Blackrock for some time but later won Cork Senior Hurling Championship awards with the Barrs. He took part in the All-Ireland final of 1939, and in 1941 he won his first All-Ireland medal. He collected his second senior All-Ireland in 1943 and three years later he was back with his home club to help them in their successful bid to regain the divisional title. After Castlemartyr's triumph in East Cork, Sullivan returned to the intercounty scene in 1947 and won an All-Ireland Junior Hurling Championship medal. He was a member of the first Castlemartyr team to win the county championship in 1951 and he captained the side, which won the divisional title three years later in 1954.
