Clogherinkoe GAA is a Gaelic Athletic Association (GAA) club in County Kildare, Ireland, the first junior C champions to qualify for the Jack Higgins Cup final. They formed an area team with Johnstownbridge, St John's, which reached the semi-final of the senior football championship in 1978. Padraig Gravin was corner-forward on the 1998 Kildare All Ireland final team. Pat Tyrrell was a noted Kildare forward in the 1960s. John Lowry was a major player for the team throughout the 80's and 90's. He also played on the Kildare senior team for several seasons.
