It's a great honour to welcome everyone who visits Tinahely GAA on the internet. This website has many details of the club - its history, the players and our supporters. Visitors can get up to date on match results, photos, events and development of the club.

I would like to thank everybody who helped put the website together, especially Kevin Nolan, Erin and Anthony Murphy. I hope people enjoy logging on and looking back over the years since our foundation.

The Club was established at a meeting at the Billiard Hall, Dwyers Square, Tinahely on 8^th December 1961. Jerry McGrath was elected first Chairman, Des Morris Secretary and Frank Murphy Treasurer.

The Juvenile Section was founded in 1957 and there was a great 50^th anniversary commemoration . The founders were Des Morris, Martin Morris, Jim Whelan, the late Michael Hassett and the late Jim Robinson. Tinahely GAA won the Under-12 Championship in 1972, U-14 Championship in 1974 and the Minor Championship in 1978, 1980 and 1982.  Our aim is to have high football standards for each underage team. They are a very important part of the development of our game.

The President of the GAA, Nickey Brennan, officially opened our new clubhouse on Friday 27th June 2009  in the presence of the County Board, local dignitaries and great crowd of people. It was a historic day for Tinahely. We hope that the sporting community from the area will make full use of these facilities.  

An important role of the club is to promote Gaelic culture and we wish to recognise those who have done so much for Irish culture.

Many events are on the calendar during the year. Regarding cultural events, the Club participates in Scór every year. Our annual dinner dance is a major occasion and Brian Cody, Michéal Ó Muircheartaigh and Mick O'Dwyer were recent guests of honour. No matter where people are in Tinahely, football is a big talking point!

This year is a busy one and I wish to thank my colleagues on the Committee for all their help. We thank the local media and journalists for reporting our matches
