Kilkerrin-Clonberne is a Gaelic Athletic Association club based in Clonberne, County Galway, Ireland.

History

In his 'Annals of the GAA in Galway 1884-1901', Padraic O'Laoi notes that Clonberne - like Menlough - was initially a hurling club and was one of only 26 clubs in the county to play matches under GAA rules in 1885.

They achieved Senior status in 1996 and have competed in the Galway Senior Club Football Championship up until 2015. They were relegated to the Intermediate ranks by a strong Kilconly side.

Notable former players include Johnny Geraghty & Christy Tyrell, members of Galway's famous 3 in a row team and John Divilly, a member of Galway's All-Ireland triumph in 1998.

In 1999, the Ladies football club in Clonberne won an intermediate club All-Ireland. They were runners up in 2019 Senior All-Ireland Ladies' Club Football Championship.

The club won three All-Ireland Ladies' Club Football Championships in a row, from 2021 to 2023.[1]
