History

Founded in 1896 as Brickey Rangers, the club did not have their first game until 1917. To determine the cost of a football, it was decided to go door-to-door throughout the Valley. The club's joint treasurers, Mike Linehan and Johnny Ronayne, collected money from locals at one end of the Valley and from Johnny Murphy and Jack Flynn on the Knockmaun side. The first jersey's worn by the club were all white. The first game played by the club was against Modeligo in Dempsey's field

Bushy Park

The club was established in 1896 but we did not have a permanent base until 1984 when they purchased six acres from the Bon Sauveur Sisters at Carriglea, approximately 5 km from Dungarvan and named it Bushy Park. In 2004 an additional adjoining 5.25 acres was purchased to provide a second full-size playing pitch and training area. In more recent years, they have developed the facilities further by the provision of a hurling wall court, extended the club pavilion/additional dressing rooms, and provided car parking facilities. Very recently we installed flood-lighting to one of our pitches.

Current membership

The club has adult and juvenile committees with representatives from all the various divisions/interests in the club who help steer and run the club. On the playing front, they participate in both football and hurling, camogie, ladies football and have teams in all juvenile age-groups. The catchment area includes an extensive area around the Brickey valley and environs of Dungavan. It has close links with two local national schools – Glenbeg and Carriglea and relationships with neighbours the Bon Sauveur Sisters at Carriglea. There are currently approximately 300 members.
