Cregmore [1] is a rural townland in the parish of Lackagh, County Galway, Ireland. It is 13 km northeast of Galway city centre.
Cregmore is home to a soccer club, a primary school and a golf course. The name of the locality is derived from the Irish An Chreig Mhór roughly translating to 'big rock'; a reference to a steep hill in the area.
A hedge school provided for the educational needs of the young people of Cregmore up until the mid-1800s. A Mr. Murphy used to gather the children into a circle in the middle of an old house, charging them a penny for the service. They were taught basic reading and writing skills.In July 1933, a new school, Cregmore N.S.,[2] opened at Cregmore Cross. The school welcomed 108 pupils that first day; from the ages of three and a half to fifteen years.
The school was extended over the years and made way for the present building in 1980. In 2010, a truck collided with several parked vehicles at the school; No injuries occurred.[3]
In 1994, the first Cregmore N.S. soccer team took part in the Galway National Schools SFAI Snickers competition where they managed to reach the semi-finals. At a meeting in Cregmore N.S. on 17 July 1996, Cregmore F.C. was officially formed. It was decided to enter several underage teams in the Galway & District League.Red and black was chosen as the colours for Cregmore F.C. teams, with red as the predominant colour. The emblem for the new club was designed to include a depiction of the river and arches at Cregmore Bridge as the River Clare.
