Kiltegan GAA club was founded in 1929 and is located in Kiltegan, a village of approximately 700 inhabitants located close to the Carlow border in South West Wicklow. Like many rural villages the Club acts as a social hub for its local inhabitants.
The club fields teams in ladies Gaelic football and camogie (Kiltegan GAA) and a junior section (Michael Dwyer’s, a combination of Kiltegan with 2 other small clubs in the area, Ballymanus & Knockananna).
They successfully applied for social finance with Community Finance Ireland, finding the missing piece they needed to complete the construction of a new astro pitch.
