Replying To Formertownie:  "Are you saying that kilanerin did nt benefit or they were just being accommodating to help a fellow club . I knuw i got a call from a kilanerin clubman asking to get my club on board at the time to help push it through in the vote . . I m quite sure it was nt for the benefit of tara rocks he was putting his time into the promotion of the temporary well being of tara rocks .
As has been mentioned here they had been relegated from senior and could do with a few new players to get them back up . Their underage were starting to make headway so a temporary measure would help them in the short term until their underage filled the gap again .
Of course tara rocks were in favour it meant survival and few years to try build again.
There were potntially huge benefits for both clubs why else would you agree to it ."
Pretty sure the vote was very close for Tara Rocks. I remember it being mentioned at a committee meeting at the time that they were fielding two teams and the committee were wondering why they wanted to join with Kilanerin. Had a quick look at the transfer form 2017, 31 players transferred to Kilanerin from Tar Rock, more than enough to field a team at the time. 28 transferred from Kilanerin in the opposite direction, Fast forward to 2025, 13 players transferred from Tara Rocks, 52 players transferred from Kilanerin, Its been a disaster for Tara Rocks. When you had over 30 players, and we have the benefit of hindsight, you'd have to wonder why they agreed to it at the time.

Back to the 'Bible', though. There was no Intermediate Football at the time. It gives Junior titles to Ballyhogue in 1941 & 1955, and to your neck of the woods in 1945 (as Taghmon), in 1949 (as Camross), and in 1954 (as St. Munn's). No indication that there was any sort of a Ballyhogue/Taghmon/Camross combination for any of them, but that's not to say that it definitely didn't happen."
Did a bit of digging and it was in 1946. Think it was the only time that 2 teams from the same parish met in a Senior Championship game. Taghmon played Camross/Ballyhogue in Wexford Park. Camross/Ballyhogue won, but lost the SF to an Enniscorthy team. In 1947 Camross joined up with Taghmon.
Back in the early days from the 19th century up until the 40s there were a few teams, sometimes 3 or 4, from the parish competing in Wexford club championships some years, mostly Football but hurling too sometimes.

Blackwater - Ballyvaldon from the same parish played against each other in the first Wexford Hurling Championship back in 1888-89. I'm sure there is a few others aswell

Brilliant! They were probably mad days back then. More fighting than actual hurling or football :-)
