In late 1943, Ennis Dalcassians offered an opportunity to any players from their neighbours and fellow junior club, Doora-Barefield, to join with them and compete for titles at a higher level in both codes. This agreement continued when Ennis Dalcassians became Éire Óg in 1952. Ennis Faughs lost the 1955 Cusack Cup final to Cooraclare.
