Gaelic Football & Hurling
Hurling
In Douglas Community School we have a ‘Sport for All’ policy. Each year we train and compete with teams in u14, u15, u16.5 and u19. This gives each student in each year an opportunity to excel in our national game of hurling. 2024 saw u16 hurlers achieve a well earned victory in the Cork County Championship. Our fantastic captain Kevin Long accepted the cup on behalf of an outstanding group of players. The future is bright for DCS hurling.
Facilities
We have a strong relationship with local clubs. Douglas GAA club use our excellent facilities with their underage club. DCS is one of the few schools in Cork with a full size GAA pitch, GAA Clubhouse and a training pitch.

Gaelic Football
Our ‘Sport for All’ policy permits our school body to train and compete with teams in u15, u16.5 and u19. This gives each student in each year an opportunity to excel outside the classroom. 2019 saw our u16.5 footballers win the County Final. This team boasts many fantastic players that will carve the path for future DCS Footballers.
Stars of the Future
DCS is home to the 2020 captain of the Cork Minor Football Team – Eoghan Nash from Douglas GAA Club. Past pupils Luke O’Herlihy, St Michaels and Fionn Crowley, the Barrs have also donned the red and white jersey for Cork. Currently, Ross O’Herlihy is on the Development Squads.
