Welcome to Ros Glas Hurling Club Web Site.

ros glas new crest copy.jpgThe Ros Glas club was founded in 1974. It was founded on the basis of the Community Games, which was strong in Monasterevin at the time. The club at the beginning started with two teams under 14 and under 16 football and was parish based and drew its players from the Parish of Monasterevin and the surrounding areas. Hurling was introduced through the CBS Boys Primary School. The club catered for both Football andHurling at under age level and was most successful at both codes. The football clubs took over the running of under age football which left Ros Glas just catering for Hurling. With the success of the underage teams at hurling it was then decided to enter an adult team in the Kildare championship and leagues. To the surprise of longer formed clubs in the County and Ros Glas it self they won the Junior Championship in 1983 and then again in 1986.

The big win was in 1984 when for the first time in history that a Minor Hurling team brought silver ware to the Parish of Monasterevin when they won both Championship and League. The club went from success to success to the present day.
