History edit
Located in the village of Killeigh, on the Laois-Offaly border, Clodiagh Gaels GAA Club was founded in 2015 following an amalgamation between Killeigh and Killurin.[1] Both clubs had already united at juvenile and underage levels as Na Fianna, however, dwindling player numbers forced the clubs to join up at adult level. The new club initially operated at intermediate level in hurling and at junior level in football.[2] Success was immediate, with Clodiagh Gaels winning an Offaly IHC and JAHC double in 2016.[3] The club achieved top flight status after winning the Offaly SBHC title in 2021.[4]
