Five Ardclough players featured on the Kildare hurling team of the millennium: Richie Cullen, Tommy Christian, Bobby Burke, Johnny Walsh and Mick Dwane.

RIC records from 1890 show that Hazlehatch Irish Harpers, based on Lord Concurry's field near Skeagh, had 70 members with officers listed as Ambrose Dwyer, Christy Fitzsimons, Michael Saunders and John Cantwell.

Ardclough regarded senior for the second time after winning the 1959 Junior championship and a morale-boost by the victory of their minors in 1956, inspired by Tim Gleeson and Kieran O'Malley.

Ardclough contested nine successive finals against Éire Óg (1965 to 1974), a record for any grade in football and hurling, including their first title in 1968 when one of their minors, Richie Cullen, captained the team.

Even though it took 19 years to win their next senior title Ardclough played a prominent role in Kildare hurling, losing the 1998 final by a point to Colm Byrne's late free for Coill Dubh.

Ardclough returned to beat Coill Dubh 2–12 to 0–11 in the 2004 county final with goals from Andy Whelan and Padraig O'Malley.
