Loughmore Castleiney

Club Information

Loughmore–Castleiney GAA is a Gaelic Athletic Association club in County Tipperary, Ireland. The club competes in the Mid-Tipperary division of Tipperary GAA, and draws its players and support from the parish of the same name. The area comprises the villages of Loughmore and Castleiney with their surrounding hinterland.

Loughmore–Castleiney has traditionally been a Gaelic football club but also has a successful hurling team, making it one of the very few dual clubs at senior level in County Tipperary.

In 2013, Loughmore–Castleiney became the first team to win both the football and hurling Tipperary Senior titles in the same year. Back to back county football titles was another first when the club retained the Senior football county final in 2014. The McGrath brothers brought great honour to the club in 2016 when Noel and John won Senior hurling All-Ireland medals and Brian captained the successful minor team on the first Sunday of September. It was Noel’s second senior medal and both he and John had enjoyed under-age hurling success with Tipperary already. They have also been recognised for All-Star awards.

The Senior football county title was regained in 2016 after defeating Moyle Rovers in the final. In 2017, following a lapse of 39 years, a Junior A football county final was achieved and the Intermediate footballers won a Mid title. In 2018, the Senior footballers won their fourth Mid title in a row with the Senior hurlers also attaining a Mid title. In 2020, a fantastic run of success ended by reaching both county finals, agonisingly losing both finals to Clonmel Commercials in the football by a single point and losing the hurling by two points to Kiladangan.

In 2021, the first piece of silverware came from the clubs Junior C hurlers who won the Mid final beating Gortnahoe–Glengoole on a score line of 1-14 to 0-08. Senior football and hurling championship was played every weekend with hurling one week and football the next. On the 16th successive week, the Senior footballers took the county tile with a one-point win over Clonmel Commercials. Week 17, the county Senior hurling final replay saw a 2-14 to 2-13 victory over Thurles Sarsfields which secured a second county double for Loughmore Castleiney.
