Killavullen GAA club is one of the oldest official clubs in North Cork, with the club being founded on the 15th of February 1888 in the parish under the auspices of the Gaelic Athletic Association. White’s Cross GAA Club was formed in 1957 with Fr. Bernard as President. Denis O’ Connell was the first chairperson, with Declan Burke and Danjoe Kelleher acting as secretary and treasurer respectively. The club won its first silverware in 1964 when they were crowned East Cork Junior Hurling League Champions.
