Hurling clubs history

From the foundation of the club in 1915, teams competed in the various championships in North Tipperary – Senior, Intermediate and Junior under various guises, namely Kildangan, Ballycommon, Carney, Knigh and Lahorna.[1]

In 1930, Kildangan and Kilbarron combined to win the intermediate championship, the amalgamation competed at senior level then until they won the senior championship in 1934. From then Kildangan went on their own competing at senior level from 1935 to 1965 inclusive.

In 1966, they went down to intermediate again before swiftly returning to the senior ranks in 1967. However, a return to intermediate ranks in 1968 before amalgamating with Burgess to form Na Piarsaigh and compete in the senior ranks in 1970.

Kildangan competed on their own in the senior ranks once again in 1972 before returning to the intermediate ranks again in 1976 where they remained, except for 1996 when they competed in the junior championship, until 2005.
