History
There are numerous references to hurling and football games in the archives of local Hartford newspapers stretching back to early in the Twentieth century.[1] The Hartford Gaelic team defeated Waterbury in 1914 to become State Champions and that the Kevin Barry Hurling Club was active in Hartford starting in the 1920s. Hartford has won a National Championship and many State Championships through the 1970s and 80s.
