Kilbride GFC
Kilbride
GFC was founded in 1927 by a group of men after an evenings kick
about in Malone's field in Knockdoorish in Kilbride. Tom Malone
was the clubs first chairman and Bob Curry acted as Secretary/Treasurer.
The first game played was against Coolnashnachta in Myshall and
the team wore their shirts as jerseys. The following season saw
the club affiliate in their new colours, yellow and green and defeated
the Blues at Killerig Cross by 1 point. In 1930 the club changed
colours to what they still are today, red and green and won the
Carlow championship, defeating Kildavin in the final in Borris
by 4-2 to 1-1. The club has gone from strength to strength throughout
the years winning many league and chamioship titles along the way.
Today it is one of the smallest club's in the county but it's first
team is still going strong in the Senior championship.
