A friend of Michael Cusacks who had played with Metropolitan Hurling Club, PJ Molohan established the first hurling club in the county in Kildare just as the GAA was founded. He participated in the 1888 invasion tour of the USA. Riverstown Charles Kickhams also had a club affiliated in 1890, with officers James Mooney and Patrick Murray listed as having attended the 1889 convention. From the early sports days in J.P. Cassidy's field, the club has moved to various venues including John Dunne's field, Clogheen; Lawlor's field; and Clodhdeo, before finally purchasing its present grounds (Father Prendergast Memorial Park) in 1954.
