Rosegreen GAA
The G.A.A is an integral part of the Rosegreen community. It was founded in January 1955 and affiliated to the West Tipperary Board in that year.
As with all small rural parishes during the 60s there was a drain of talent from the Club. This was mainly due to emigration to England and America. The club was going into decline in the late 60s and a decision was made to disband the club in 1970. As a result, players eligible to play for Rosegreen now transferred to the Cashel Club. During this period Rosegreen was well represented at all grades on Cashel teams.
Because of the ever-increasing numbers of juveniles now living and attending Primary School in Rosegreen, it was decided to reform the Adult and Juvenile Club in 1981.
2004 will probably go down as the most successful year in Rosegreen GAA history to date. The adult club contested county finals in hurling and football that year. Unfortunately, the hurlers lost the county final against Kilruane McDonaghs. But the footballers made no mistake. The football team met Clonmel Commercials in Fethard in the county final. This game was a thriller. The teams could not be separated at full time. The game went to an exciting replay, which Rosegreen eventually won. There were very joyous scenes in Fethard that winter afternoon.
