History

[edit]

Slieverue is one of Kilkenny's oldest clubs, having affiliated in the GAA's foundation year in 1884.[2][3] The club has operated in the junior ranks for much of its existence, however, it has had some success in the upper tiers. Slieverue's first major success was a Kilkenny IHC title in 1936. The Kilkenny JHC was secured in 1950, a victory which heralded further success over the rest of the decade. Slieverue contested three Kilkenny SHC finals, with the club beating Tullaroan to claim their only title in 1954.[4]
