History
Hurling was the more popular sport in Barefield over Gaelic football, now it's 50-50 between the both of them. There are two main Hurling fields, Gurteen and Roslevan. In Gurteen there are three full size hurling and football pitches. There is also changing and showering facilities there.
The Ennis Faughs were an amalgamation of the club with local rivals Éire Óg, Ennis. They competed together from 1944-1956 and 1994-1996 when both clubs were not actually competing at senior level themselves.
