===GAA=== [[Celbridge GAA]] park and centre on the [[Hazelhatch]] Road was opened in 1996, ending 52 years without a home, the club having lost its field in Ballymakeally after a court case in 1944.{{citation needed|date=October 2018}} Celbridge GAA club is the third oldest club in County Kildare, formed on 15 August 1885, eight months after the GAA was founded in [[Thurles]]. In 1890 there were two clubs in the parish: Celbridge Shamrocks, based in Kilwogan with 64 members, and the Irish Harpers at Hazelhatch, with 70 members.{{citation needed|date=October 2018}} Celbridge play at senior level in both codes. They won their first [[Kildare Senior Football Championship]] in 2008. Celbridge GAA had won its first [[Kildare Senior Hurling Championship]] in 1921. Success in the top hurling competition in Kildare would not arrive until 2005 when Celbridge, managed by Jimmy Doyle, beat Coill Dubh in the final. Following a number of semi-final defeats, a "three in a row" of hurling titles came in 2009, 2010 and 2011. After defeat in the 2012 decider to Confey, Celbridge reclaimed the title in 2013. The club has won the [[Kildare Senior Camogie Championship]] in 2005, 2006 and 2010, and won the U21 football county championship in 2012 and 2014.{{citation needed|date=October 2018}}
