A Sunday afternoon of club hurling in Naas rewards turning up with no great expectation and leaving quietly converted. The Kildare Senior Hurling Championship is serious competition - Naas have won it twelve times, their most recent run of titles coming in 2019 and beyond - and a midsummer fixture at the Sallins Road grounds puts that tradition on display. It suits families, GAA visitors passing through Kildare, and locals looking for something more grounded than a big intercounty day.
Naas Hurling Club host their summer championship matches at their Sallins Road grounds on the edge of town. The club has four grass pitches and a modern clubhouse, so the facilities are well above average for a club ground. Championship hurling at this level is fast and physical - Naas have fielded multiple Kildare county panelists in recent seasons, and the standard reflects that. The crowd is a proper club crowd: knowledgeable, local, and vocal without being precious about it. Refreshments are available on site. The July date puts this squarely in the height of the championship season, when the pace and stakes are both up. Check with the club directly or on the Kildare GAA website to confirm the specific fixture and teams playing on the day.
Naas sits at the junction of the M7 and N7, around 30 kilometres south-west of Dublin - one of the easiest county towns to reach by car. The Sallins Road grounds are on the western edge of town; parking is available at the club. By public transport, Sallins & Naas train station on the Dublin - Kildare commuter line is about three kilometres from the ground, around 25 minutes from Heuston. Bus Eireann and Dublin Coach both run to the town centre.
Naas is a decent town to spend a few hours around a match - there is a good range of pubs and cafés on the main street, and the Kildare countryside opens up quickly in any direction from the town. There is more to see in Naas and across Co. Kildare.
