From the outset great interest was aroused in the club, and it gradually grew in strength both from a players and a supporters point of view.

A member of that history making team was Nicky Rackard, a man who was to lead both club and county to historic victories in the ensuing years.

The winners were never seriously challenged and proved the superior team in every aspect of the game, with Nicky Rackard coming off with two splendid goals to his credit.

1941 was Rathnure's first year in senior hurling ranks and it is notable that the club has fielded in the Wexford Senior Hurling Championship every other year to date, a feat not equalled by any other club in the county and very few in Ireland.

In 1948 Rathnure St Anne's won our first of 20 Wexford Senior Hurling Championships.

Its sports complex consists of four full-sized dressing rooms, squash court, fully equipped gymnasium, sauna and a well-stocked GAA shop.
