Welcome to the community web site for the town and parish of St Columb Major, where the game of hurling with the silver ball is played at Shrovetide
We are very proud of our heritage, our ancient market town with its magnificent 14th century parish church, and especially of the game of hurling. On Shrove Tuesday and the following Saturday week the townsmen and the countrymen vie with one another for the honour of winning the silver ball, a centuries old tradition which is enthusiastically maintained by successive generations.
A bird's eye view of the town can be seen in the interactive map below, and information about our community and history from the various links included on either side of this page.
