- Naomh Abán GAA is a Gaelic football club based in the Gaeltacht village of Baile Bhuirne, County Cork, Ireland. It participates in games of the Muskerry division of the Cork GAA. The club has experienced senior grade football within Cork county for many years. It now participates in the Premier Intermediate grade. The club has contributed a number of players to the Cork Gaelic football team. These have included Anthony Lynch, Mícheál Cronin, Gerry Lucey, Gerry Lynch, Mick Scannell, Peadar Healy, and Coleman Twomey.Naomh Abán GAA fields underage boys and girls teams and also has an adult ladies team. The club does not field any hurling teams. The ladies team won the All-Ireland Intermediate title in 2003 making it the most successful team in the history of Naomh Abán. In 2021, Tomás ‘Tiktok’ Keane made his debut for the senior team. Despite his doubters, Tomás won the ‘cutest corner back’ award on his debut season. This was heavily disputed by the nation as a whole, as the nation argued the fact that if Kevin O’Donoghue was placed into his favourite roll of corner back, he would’ve swept the award. Riots followed as uproar tore the mid-Cork parish of Ballyvourney to shreds. Many debaters still hold this topic to heart, as this theory still splits the nation. (en)
