Hurling club history

From the foundation of the club in 1915, teams competed in the various championships in County Tipperary – Senior, Intermediate and Junior under various guises, namely Kiladangan, Kildangan, Ballycommon, Carney, Knigh and Lahorna. [2]

In 1930, Kiladangan and Kilbarron combined to win the intermediate championship, the amalgamation competed at senior level then until they won the senior championship in 1934. From then Kiladangan went on their own competing at senior level from 1935 to 1965 inclusive.

In 1966, Kiladangan went down to intermediate again before swiftly returning to the senior ranks in 1967. However, a return to intermediate ranks in 1968 before amalgamating with Burgess to form Na Piarsaigh and compete in the senior ranks in 1970.

Kiladangan competed on their own in the senior ranks once again in 1972 before returning to the intermediate ranks again in 1976 where they remained, except for 1996 when they competed in the junior championship, until 2005.

The return to the senior ranks in 2005 was preceded by capturing the county intermediate title, Munster intermediate cup and the all-Ireland intermediate cup beating Carrickshock of Kilkenny in a dramatic final in Thurles. The club confirmed the return to top tier by capturing the clubs first North Senior title in 65 years in 2008.

Kildangan reached the final of the 2016 Tipperary Senior Hurling Championship where they lost to Thurles Sarsfields by 1–15 to 0–27. It was their first final since 1938. [3] They were back in the final again in 2019 but again lost out to Borris-Ileigh 1-15 to 1-12.

[4] A late goal by Bryan McLoughney in extra-time won he game with Kiladangan one point behind at that stage. This was their first ever championship title. [5] [6]
