    Hurling and Football Matches.
    They never won a championship but in cup matches they beat all the best teams in Limerick at the time. Most members of the team are dead but their captain and vice -captain are still alive today. John Madigan, Ardlahan was captain one year but the following year Mr. Cahill was the captain. In the two years those men captained the team they beat such teams as Crecora, Askeaton, Mungret, South Libertys, Plan-of Campaigns, St. Michaels and last but not least the Faugh-a-Ballaghs who were the Old Kildimos.
