History
Hurling has been played in Carlow since the 19th century, with several clubs representing the town and enjoying success at various intervals. One of these clubs, the Pearses, won Carlow SHC titles in 1961 and 1963 before later disbanding. In 1968, a new club was reformed under the name Carlow Town Hurling Club.[1]
The new club had success in the juvenile and underage grades, winning the Carlow U16HC title in 1974, the Carlow MHC title in 1975 and Carlow U21HC titles in 1976 and 1977. Carlow Town claimed their first Carlow SHC title after a defeat of St Finan's in 1977. Further SHC titles were claimed in 1979, 1980 and 1988.[2]
