Kildangan GAA (Kildare) - Reemergence

Reemergence

The demographics of Kildangan and it's hinterland altered considerably at the start of the new millennium, the Celtic Tiger brought a significant increase in population to the area. The Club was re-established in 2001, mainly with players from surrounding clubs, many of whom had played with Nurney underage, and also migrants to the area. Success followed rapidly and Kildangan won the Junior league in 2003. The following year brought even more success, when Kildangan won the Junior league and sealed a win over Sarsfields in the Junior C final, on a scoreline of 0-14 to 0-10.

The year 2005 saw Kildangan contest the Junior B final against Caragh, where they were beaten narrowly.

In 2008, Kildangan won the Division 5 league title by beating Suncroft in the final on a scoreline of 0-11 to 1-7.

In early 2009 Kildangan GAA moved to a new location, complete with dressing rooms and a clubhouse, named More O'Ferrall Park. The new grounds were officially opened by Leinster Council Chairman at the time, Seamus Howlin, on 21 May 2010.

Kildangan were also given the honour of being Kildare GAA's Club of the Year in November 2010.
