Clonard GAA club debuted an adult hurling team in 1988 with a victory over a Glynn-Barntown team in the Junior B grade in their first game. In 1993 the adult hurling team won the Wexford District championship at Junior B grade thus qualifying the club for the County final.  However the club had to wait until 1994 for success with the team winning the championship after a successive District title was won. Brendan Benson, the manager was supported by trainer Nicky Broaders and co-selectors Brendan Murphy and Michael McMahon of Kennedy Park.  This first ever adult championship for the club was according to The People newspaper earned by a “clearcut victory over Geraldine O’Hanrahans”. In 2000 the Junior A hurlers reached the league final and gained promotion. Still in the Junior ranks the club aims to represent the parish with pride in the coming season.
