[edit] Honours
The Kickhams Club has, for most of its existence — spanning over 120 years - been a tradional football club, winning many county senior football championships in the early part of the 20th century. Hurling enjoyed a resurgence in the 1990s, culminating with victory in the County Senior Hurling Championship in 2002. The senior hurling team has challenged for honours every year since their golden year.
The Club's most famous players are John Leahy, winner of All-Ireland Senior hurling medals in 1989 and 1991 and Éoin Kelly, a winner of the All-Ireland Senior hurling Championship in 2001.
