As far back as the 1740s Hurling was to be seen in Crumlin.[citation needed] The village was bordered by an area of "Common Land".[citation needed] The most important game recorded at Crumlin Common was in 1748, between hurlers representing Leinster and Munster, a game which Leinster won by a late goal.[citation needed]
Club historyedit
Crumlin Independents were set up in the early 1900s and lasted until 1935. St. Agnes’s Football Club was set up in 1932, to be followed by St. Columba’s Hurling Club in 1945. These two clubs catered for their respective games until the end of 1969, when they amalgamated to form Crumlin Hurling and Football Club. In late 1979 a new addition to the club took place when it was joined by CúchulainnCamogie Club, which had operated in the area since 1967. In 2007 the Club was renamed Crumlin GAA Club.
