Ag Féachaint Siar – Cill Dara Hurling in the 1960s – “Hurling Champions of All Ireland Again” After a long famine and a series of droughts, Kildare hurling reached new heights in the 1960s - a decade which brought three All-Ireland titles to the county. Junior successes in 1962 and 1966 prefaced an Intermediate title in 1969. During the previous three decades, players from army club teams often outnumbered native club players on county teams but by the ’60s the balance was changing rapidly. The 1962 team included five Army personnel, and they were vital to that success. The ’66 team lined out in the All-Ireland final in Glebe 1966 All-Ireland Medal Farm, Warwickshire, with only one man average age of the ‘66 team was twenty- from a military club. And in 1969, there one and a half.

  • Callan C.B.S
    Callan C.B.S. - The Dunnamaggin Connection From the time Rev. Robert O'Keeffe from Dunnamaggin laid the foundation stone for Callan C.B.S. in 1868, players from the parish had contributed enormously to the success of hurling at the college. In the early years success was scarce this despite producing both fine football and hurling teams. The breakthrough nearly came in the 1940's with Davie Walsh as their most prominent player, but they failed to jump the final hurdle. Inspired on by centenary year and the arrival of Mick McHugh, the Rice Cup, the most prestigious trophy in CBS hurling was won in 1968 with Pat Butler, Kells, Richard Mackey, Rogerstown, Johnny Nolan, Ballytobin, and James Hughes, Dunnamaggin, to the fore. This was a major breakthrough for the school and they went on to capture the U-17 Leinster Kyne Cup the same year. Pat Butler, Kells, and Willie Hughes, Dunnamaggin, were members of this team. In 1971 the earlier under age success was followed by winning the Senior Leinster Colleges "B" title against an Ogie Moran led Gormanstown team. As there was no All-Ireland "B " championship at the time Callan C.B.S. progressed into the semi-final of the "A" championship where they came up against the mighty St. Kieran's in the semi-final. The Callan boys put up a brave show but were beaten in the end. Pat Butler, Kells, Jimmy Dunne, Kells, John Nolan, Ballytobin, James Hughes, Dunnamaggin, and Richie Mackey, Rogerstown, were members of this team. The 1972 team again captured the Leinster Colleges "B" Leinster Final with the same players on board.
