A fact not widely known is that a County Senior Hurling Final was played in Blarney on July 14th 1890 in the grounds of Blarney Estate Aghabullogue defeated Aghada by 7-3 to 1-1 to win the title. Aghabullogue by winning the county earned the right to represent Cork in the All-lreland series and in November of that year, at Clonturk Park Dublin, defeated Castlebridge of Wexford to win Cork’s first All-Ireland Senior Hurling Championship. A Blarney player, Ned O’Reilly of Shamrock Terrace “guested” with Aghabullogue and holds the distinction of being the first player to bring an All-Ireland Medal to Blarney. The first championship won by the club was the Mid-Cork Minor Hurling Championship of 1927. Further titles in this grade followed in 1932, 1945, 1946, 1955, 1983 and 1997. The 1927 and 1945 sides reached the county final where they were defeated by Nemo Rangers and Glen Rovers respectively. The 1997 side took part in the County “A” Championship and duly won same defeating Fermoy in the County Final.

In 1931 Blarney won it’s first Mid-Cork Junior Hurling Championship. To date this title has been won on thirteen occasions and the club presently lies third in the roll of honour behind Aghabullogue and Cloghduv.

The Mid-Cork U21 Hurling Championship was won for the first time in 1964 and further titles in this grade were annexed in 1967,1971,1986, 1998 and 2011. The 1986 team reached the County Final and were unlucky to be narrowly defeated by Fermoy.
