History
[edit | edit source]Cappagh was founded in 1917.[citation needed] Their grounds in Newtown,[1] south of Cappagh, were purchased in 1971 and their dressing room complex opened in 1995.[citation needed]
Gaelic football
[edit | edit source]Kerryman Tadhg Downey played at corner forward on the 1939 Kildare championship team. At his behest, Cappagh adopted the red jerseys of the Dingle club, worn by Kerry in the 1938 All Ireland final. They amalgamated with Kilcock 1938-41 and 1955-62.[citation needed]
Hurling
[edit | edit source]The club plays hurling from under-15's down to "nursery". Hurling was introduced at "nursery" level in 2010. They won their first hurling trophy in Division 4 of the U12s in 2015.[citation needed] They were also named "hurling club of the year" by Kildare north Board. This was followed up with the U12 team winning Division 2 in 2016 and being promoted to Division 1 for the following year. In 2016, Cappagh amalgamated with Broadford at U14, under the name "Northern Gaels". They played in Féile and lost to Celbridge in the final and went on to win the shield final against Celbridge. The Northern Gaels followed this up with winning the shield final in the u15 in Autumn 2016.[citation needed]
Camogie
[edit | edit source]The Cappagh camogie club was founded in 1972.[citation needed] The original club colours were grey and white - now grey red and white.
