Kilmoyley hurling club is the most successful in the history of Kerry GAA at underage and senior levels. We have won a record 22 senior county championships, with an unprecedented six in the past decade, and 13 minor couty championships. Uniquely, KHC has won two Feile na nGael All Ireland (U14) titles and a Munster senior league title (2003) following victory over a Sean Og O hAilpin led Na Piarsiagh of Cork in the final. The club has always encouraged its hurlers at every age level to play an integral role on all our county hurling teams from U14 to senior levels. Senior players Shane Brick and Tom Murnane were voted on the Christy Ring team of 2009, while Tom was again voted on the Christy Ring team of 2010, and was among four nominees for Chrity Ring hurler of the year in 2010. A number of our hurlers won All-Ireland "B" U21 and minor hurling titles with Kerry in 2009 and 2010. Kilmoyley had six hurlers on the Causeway Senior and U16 teams that won Munster and All-Ireland titles in 2009.
