Past Amalgamation

The club formerly amalgamated with the Clonaslee–St Manman's club to play senior hurling under the name Tinnahinch.

In 1999, Rosenallis joined with Clonaslee to form a joint senior hurling, minor and underage hurling and football teams. This club was called Tinnahinch after the old barony name Tinnahinch which included the parishes of Kilmanman, Reary and Rosenallis. Tinnahinch was in 3 Senior Hurling County Hurling finals, 2002, 2003, 2006. In 2009, it won Division 3 Féile na nGael (Under 14 Hurling) national hurling title.

At adult level, this was a Gaels team which meant that both Clonaslee and Rosenallis could have their own separate Junior teams.
