Aherlow GAA


Aherlow GAA is a Gaelic Athletic Association club located in County Tipperary in Ireland, established within a year of the GAA's foundation. The club plays Gaelic football at senior, under-21, junior, minor and underage levels in the West Tipperary Division and all-county competitions of Tipperary GAA. It has also become increasingly active as a hurling club, and plays Ladies' Gaelic football. The club is centred on the village Of Lisvernane and surrounding Glen of Aherlow, some eight miles east of Tipperary town. In recent years, contemporary star players include Ciaran McDonald and Barry Grogan who both played for the Tipperary senior football team. The club lost its senior football status in recent years and through a reduction in playing members joined forces with current intermediate team Lattin-Cullen GAA for the senior football championship. This combination team known as Aherlow Gaels won the 2016 championship be defeating old foes and neighbours Galtee Rovers.

Gaelic football

The club has been Tipperary Senior Football champions on two occasions. They won their first ever County title in 2006 and went on to win their second title in November 2010 after a 2-4 to 1-6 win against Loughmore-Castleiney in the final at Semple Stadium.. The first win in 2006 was notable in that the village church bell pealed in the late afternoon of that victory Sunday to herald the news from Semple Stadium.

Honours

Aherlow Ladies had their most successful year to date in 2011, winning county and provincial titles and reaching the All-Ireland final.

Honours

Although Aherlow was long a mainly-football club, it has in recent years made considerable progress in hurling. It won the county Junior Championship in 2009, and the Intermediate title in 2011.
