Erin's Own is a Gaelic Athletic Association club based in Bagenalstown, County Carlow. The club, founded in 1934 but reorganised following a merger with Bagenalstown in the 1960s, was primarily concerned with the game of hurling. In 2019, the club amalgamated with St. Andrews and Muinebheag CLG to form Bagenalstown Gaels.[1][2]

History

Erin's Own GAA Club was founded in 1934 in the boy's local national school by Michael Gaynor, Brother Hillary, Michael Purcell, Jack Monaghan, Joe Holden and Ned Keegan.
