Dara Hurling in the 1960s –
“Hurling Champions of All
Ireland Again”
After a long famine and a series of
droughts, Kildare hurling reached new
heights in the 1960s - a decade which
brought three All-Ireland titles to the
county. Junior successes in 1962 and
1966 prefaced an Intermediate title in
1969.
During the previous three decades,
players from army club teams often
outnumbered native club players on
county teams but by the ’60s the balance
was changing rapidly. The 1962 team
included five Army personnel, and they
were vital to that success. The ’66 team
