St Joseph's is a Gaelic Athletic Association club in the parish of Doora Barefield outside Ennis in County Clare, Ireland.
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 1994-1995 when both clubs were not actually competing at senior level themselves. The Ennis Faughs competed in thirteen county football finals, winning five Senior Football titles in 1947, 1948, 1952, 1954 and again in 1994. They also won an Intermediate Hurling title in 1945, and an Intermediate Football title in 1946.
