History

[edit]

Located in the village of Clongeen in rural County Wexford, Clongeen GAA Club was founded in 1905.[2] The club spent the majority of its early existence operating in the junior grade. In 1970, Clongeen won the Wexford JAFC title after a defeat of Buffers Alley in a replay.[3] The club's hurlers won a Wexford JAHC title in 1986.

Clongeen secured senior status for the very first time in 1987 when the Wexford IFC title was won.[4] Over 30 years later, the club claimed the Wexford SFC title after a 2-10 to 0-08 defeat of Starlights.[5][6] Clongeen claimed a second Wexford JAHC title in 2008, before later losing the Leinster Club JHC final to Tullogher–Rosbercon.[7] The club won their third Wexford JAHC title in 2023.[8]
