History
Newbridge has always had two and sometimes three GAA clubs. Newbridge 'Hare and Hounds' drew with Moorefield in the 1888 championship. RIC records from 1890 show that Hare and Hounds had 47 members with officers listed as James Farrell, Pat Cox, John Quinn and Edward Wallis. An application from a third club based in the CYMS, St. Conleth's, was rejected in January 1891 because membership was confined to Catholics. A St Conleth’s team successfully affiliated in the 1900s.
