Clonmore Senior Team 2005
This team reached the final of the All County Football League in 2005 but lost to Kildavin/ Clonegal after a replay. Unfortunately, this proved to be a turning point in the season and results deteriorated from there on. The club ultimately lost its Senior status in a relegation playoff with Myshall. However everyone in the club is determined to mount a serious challenge to win the Intermediate Championship in 2006 and with all players rallying to the cause Clonmore should be back where it belongs; in the Senior ranks in 2007.
