History
Located in the village of Knockaderry in west Limerick, Knockaderry GAA Club was founded in 1910.[1] The club has spent most of its existence operating in the junior grade, winning numerous western divisional titles.[2] Knockaderry made their first county final appearance in 1929 when they were defeated by Claughaun in the Limerick JHC decider in 1929. The club eventually secured senior status after a defeat of Bruff in 1947 secured the Limerick JHC title. It would be over 50 years before Knockaderry claimed a second Limerick JAHC title after a 1–10 to 0–10 defeat of Hospital-Herbertstown in 2004.[3]
